Question
Is there a prohibition of Tza'ar Ba'alei Chayim in killing a dying animal?
Answer
A mouse and a rat caught in a trap, as well as reptiles and insects that have been crushed and are suffering and about to die, and a sick animal such as a sick parrot that is about to die, if they are suffering, it is preferable to kill them immediately so that they do not suffer and not wait for them to die on their own.
