Tza'ar ba'alei chayim (Hebrew: צער בעלי חיים), literally "suffering of living creatures", is a Jewish commandment that bans causing unnecessary suffering to animals. This concept is not clearly enunciated in the written Torah but was accepted by rabbinic scholars as being a biblical mandate (Genesis 9:4).
