משנה: שְׁמוֹנָה שְׁרָצִים הָאֲמוּרִין בַּתּוֹרָה הַצָּדָן וְהַחוֹבֵל בָּהֶן חַיָיב. וּשְׁאָר שְׁקָצִים וּרְמָשִֹים הַחוֹבֵל בָּהֶן פָּטוּר הַצָּדָן לְצוֹרֶךְ חַיָיב וְשֶׁלֹּא לְצוֹרֶךְ פָּטוּר. חַיָּה וָעוֹף שֶׁבִּרְשׁוּתוֹ הַצָּדָן פָּטוּר וְהַחוֹבֵל בָּהֶן חַיָיב:
MISHNAH: The eight kinds of vermin mentioned in the Torah: one who catches or injures them is liable. Other abominations and vermin: one who injures them is not liable; if he catches them for some need he is liable, otherwise he is not liable. Wild animals and fowl in his possession: if he catches them he is not liable but if he injures them he is liable.
