Laws Relating to Animals on Shabbath and Yom Tov

LEADING AN ANIMAL OR ALLOWING IT TO PERFORM A FORBIDDEN ACTIVITY

13.a. Generally speaking, one should not go more than two thousand amoth beyond the boundary of the eiruv, or, if there is no eiruv, more than two thousand amoth beyond the last house of the town or other place where one was when Shabbath or Yom Tov commenced.

13.b. One may not physically take an animal beyond the limit to which its owner is permitted to walk.

13.c. Nevertheless, one is not obliged to prevent an animal (which is not carrying a burden, as defined in paragraph 7 above) from going farther than this limit.

13.d. One may even encourage the animal to go farther by calling it, so long as one does not physically take it there.

13.e. One may hand the animal over to a non-Jewish attendant and need not be concerned if he rides it beyond the permitted distance (provided it is not carrying a burden* as defined in paragraph 7 above).

______

*A person who can walk by himself is not considered to be a burden which one may not let an animal carry. (In connection with riding an animal, see paragraph 17b below.)
