Should the plaintiff, however, seize the property of the defendant (in a case of a fine that could not be collected in Bavel), they cannot be taken away from him. Furthermore, if he asks for a date to present his case to a Beis Din in Eretz Yisroel, we set it up for him, and if the defendant does not go with him, we place a ban upon him. Either way, however, the defendant is to be placed under the ban, for we tell him: Remove your damaging animal.

This follows the opinion of Rabbi Nosson, for we learned in the following braisa: Rabbi Nosson said: How do we know that a man may not raise a vicious dog in his house, nor shall he place a shaking ladder in his house? It is written [Devarim 22:8]: You shall not place blood in your house.

We look at the history of pets and dogs and when they became domesticated.
