LEV1090 In Sefer Chasidim, several passages mandate the sympathetic and fair treatment of animals. Thus, it is permitted to use an animal for work, but one who puts too heavy a burden on it, or beats an animal that is having trouble walking, will be brought by God to judgment for having "caused sorrow to a living creature." [The condemnation of those who overwork animals brings to mind the Torah's command to not treat employees in a ruthless manner [this verse]].
