10 Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
The lesson here is pretty obvious, good natured people are also good to nature. This supports a fact I've heard before that abuse against humans (homicide, sexual assault, neglect) often coincides with abuse against animals. Allowing ourselves to mistreat our animals can distort our understand of cruelty to the point where we are no longer able to show mercy. Our goodness, without God's righteousness, is not very good.
