Chapter 27
Laws Relating to Animals on Shabbath and Yom Tov
LEADING AN ANIMAL OR ALLOWING IT TO PERFORM A FORBIDDEN ACTIVITY
11.a. On Yom Tov, too, one should not allow one’s animal to go out into reshuth ha-rabbim or carmelith, in a plan where there is no eiruv, carrying a burden, as defined in paragraph 7 above.
11.b. This is so notwithstanding the fact that one may oneself be permitted to carry the article on Yom Tov (See Chapter 19).
12.a. An animal which is put out to pasture with a bell around its neck so that it does not become lost should not be allowed to go out with its bell on Shabbath or Yom Tov, even where there is an eiruv.
12.b. There are two reasons for this Rabbinical prohibition:
1) One is not permitted to sound a bell on Shabbath or Yom Tov. (See Chapter 28, paragraph 34.)
2) People may be given the impression that the animal is being taken to market.
