[Avodah] cruelty to animals

>> if it is  assur to allow cruelty to animals (rebbe suffere for 13/7?) 
years for  not
telling a calf/kid a kind word), then why are we allowed to leave a  fallen 
animal
in a bor, all shabbas to suffer (eg, broken bones, etc)
or  are there exceptions, to this rule?
are there chilul hashem issues also  involved, eg, if goyim walk by and see 
us
running home to chulent, while a  donkey or horse brays in pain?? <<

I believe you would be allowed to go and tell a goy that there is a fallen  
animal in pain and that you can't do anything right now because it is your  
Sabbath, but you are concerned about the animal.  If the goy then takes it  
upon himself to act, well and good, and if not, he can hardly accuse the 
Jew of  being more callous to the animal's suffering than he is.
