אשכחיה רבי יונה לרבי עילאי דקאי אפיתחא דצור א"ל קתני בהמה תיעקר עבד מאי עבד ישראל לא קא מיבעיא לי כי קא מיבעיא לי עבד עובד כוכבים מאי א"ל מאי קא מיבעיא לך תניא העובדי כוכבים והרועי בהמה דקה לא מעלין ולא מורידין

Yonah found R. Ilai as he was standing at the gate of Tyre. He said to him: They taught, “Cattle [bought at the idolatrous fair] should be disabled.” What about a slave? I am not asking about a Jewish slave; what I am asking about is a Canaanite slave. What is the law? The other replied: Why do you ask at all? It has been taught; As to idolaters and [Jewish] shepherds of small cattle, even though one is not obligated to take them out [of a pit], one must not throw them in [to a pit to endanger their lives].
