Exodus 21:28 "If an ox gores..."

Benny lives on a farm in the Midwest.

His family owns many acres of fertile soil and has herds of cattle.

They supply a nearby meat plant with cattle to be slaughtered according to the Torah laws of Shechitah.

The meat is then marketed across the country in kosher butcher shops.

That delicious Shabbat meal you enjoyed last week may have been prepared from the meat that comes from Benny's family's farm!

Benny likes to work around the farm. He also has specific duties to tend to. Afterwards, he likes to roam around the barns and stables.

He is very careful to lock the gates and shut the fences.

Otherwise, some of the strong young bulls may break loose and pounce upon a passer-by and gore him.

This Positive Mitzvah requires the owner of an animal to pay for damages it causes by goring another person or animal.
