Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 21:28

28 If an oxe gore a man or a woman that they die, then the oxe shall be surely stoned , and his flesh shall not be eaten : but the owner of the oxe shall be quit.

Under which you are to understand any other creatures of like nature which hurt a man in such a dangerous manner, whether with their horns or teeth or feet, but he mentions onely the oxe or bull and his goring with his horn, because this is most frequently done.

Partly to prevent future mischiefs from that creature: partly to punish its master for his negligence in not keeping it in: and principally, for mans admonition, for whom seeing the beasts were made, it is not strange nor unjust if it be destroyed for mans good, God would hereby shew, that he would not, and men should not, spare a wilful murderer.

Both because it was forbidden food, its blood being not let out, and for the punishment of the owner who was hereby hindred from the sale of it, to beget in all the greater detestation of murderers, when they observe the poor beast upon this account accursed and therefore not to be touched or tasted.
