Jewish Law Prohibits Castration of any Male Animal (or Human)

Ben Zoma was asked: 'Is it permitted to castrate a Dog?' He replied: "'Neither shall you do this in  your land', - this means, to no one (including a Dog) that is in your land shall you do this to."

- Babylonian Talmud, Chagigah 14b


Lucky Dog!

Who let the Dogs out this time? The same Rabbis who wrote the Talmud!

NO MAN SHOULD BREED A DOG UNLESS IT IS ON A CHAIN. Our Rabbis taught: 'No man should breed a Dog unless it is kept on a chain. He may, however, breed it in a town adjoining the frontier where he should keep it chained during the daytime and let it loose only at night.'

- Babylonian Talmud, Baba Kamma 83a

The Cutest Animal Talmudika to Date...

‘Why does a Dog know its owner while a Cat does not?’ Rabbi Eleazar answered them: ‘If he who eats something from which a Mouse has previously eaten loses his memory, think how much more memory will be lost by the animal which eats the Mouse itself!’

- The Babylonian Talmud, Horayoth 13a
