Tza'ar ba'alei chayim (Hebrew: צער בעלי חיים), literally "suffering of living creatures",[1] is a Jewish commandment which bans causing animals unnecessary[2][3] suffering. This concept is not clearly enunciated in the written Torah, but was accepted by the Talmud as being a biblical mandate. It is linked in the Talmud from the biblical law requiring people to assist in unloading burdens from animals (Exodus 23:5).[4]
