BRIEF INSIGHT
TZAR BA'ALEI CHAIM
The Rif Paskens like Rava that Tzar Ba'alei Chaim is d'Oraisa. However, it only applies if the animal is in great pain, but not if the pain is only moderate. The Rambam says that even though Tzar Ba'alei Chaim is d'Oraisa a Zaken is not obligated to help a person unload his animal if it is beneath his dignity because the honor of the Torah takes precedence. However, the Ran says that even a Zaken who is not a Talmid Chacham doesn't have to help unload if it is beneath his dignity and the reason is because Tzar Ba'alei Chaim is superseded for something that is a benefit for humans and consequently the honor of a human takes precedence over the prohibition of Tzar Ba'alei Chaim. [Nimukei Yosef]
QUICK HALACHAH
POREK V'TOEN
