Genesis 33:13-14

33:13 But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are young, and that I have to look after the sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven too hard for even a single day, all the animals will die. 33:14 Let my lord go on ahead of his servant. I will travel more slowly, at the pace of the herds and the children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”

Proverbs 12:10

12:10 A righteous person cares for the life of his animal,

but even the most compassionate acts of the wicked are cruel.
