The moral is rather to be harmful to the lower creation for the sake of the higher, rather to be harmful to the animal than to man. - If a man has stolen your dog, rather let him have the dog, than have him sent to prison, because the man is more valuable than the dog.
- If your child has hurt the cat a little, and if you shake the child and hurt it, it is a mistake, because the child is of more value than the cat.
- If an animal has eaten your corn, your flowers and fruits, let the corn go, do not break the back of the animal.
