EXOD802 It also seems that the needs of an animal, even a stranger's animal, come before a person's own feelings. The Torah commandment is to help an animal that has a burden, whether by helping to load the animal or to unload the animal. Since an animal already carrying a burden is in more pain, the mitzvah to help unload an animal takes precedence over helping to load an animal. Normally, one would help unload the animal of a friend before helping to unload the burden of an animal of an enemy. However, what if the friend's animal is loading and the enemy's animal is unloading? Do the needs of the animal take precedence, that is, unloading over loading, or do your personal feelings take precedence, that is, helping a friend over an enemy? Maimonides Hilchot Rotze'ach 13:13 based on the Talmud Bava Metzia 32b tells us that the needs of the animal take precedence over your own feelings and you must first unload your enemy's animal.
