Rules of Kindness to Dumb Creatures

Thou shalt not delight tkySelf In

guardianship.
Thou shalt not curse thine cattle
nor inflict vengeance upon any OF
Gods creatures. for the Lord will not
hold him guiltless who disregards His
creation.
Remember the sabbatical rights 81

credly
Thou shalt not kill for the JOY OF
killing: for sport in hunting; for con

the righteous man regardeth the life OF
his beast.
Thou shalt not commit myself To
the lusts of bloody contests nor seek

Thou shalt not coyet the birds plum
