Respect animals, Do not subject them to abuse or mistreatment

This hadith speaks about the punishment for someone who has relations with an animal. It is narrated by Ibn 'Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah said "Whomever you see having relations with an animal then kill him and kill animal". This means that if anyone is found engaging in such a heinous act, they should be killed as well as the animal. Furthermore, it was said to Ibn 'Abbas what would be done with the animal and he replied saying he did not hear anything from the Messenger of Allah but he assumed that due to such a thing being done with it, its meat should not be eaten nor should it be used in any way. This hadith teaches us about how important it is to respect animals and not subject them to any kind of abuse or mistreatment. It also teaches us about how serious this crime is and how severe its consequences are.
