It is for mans sake, and not for the beasts sake.
Why for mans sake?
To show his love to mankind, by his displeasure against any thing that shall give any help to do hurt unto him. In which respect, he commandeth that the ox that killeth a man should be slain,1 and that the flesh thereof should not be eaten. Like a kind father that cannot abide the sight of the knife that hath maimed or killed his child.
