If either the injured animal or the one that injures is hekdesh, there is no payment. If the animal who is injured belongs to a Canaanite, there is no payment. However if the reverse is true, the Caananite must pay. The Meiri limits this halacha and explains that the Caananite reference in the mishna would not be applicable to non Jews in his day (and not in ours either). The sources of these laws are derived from verses. Does a non Jew get rewarded for learning Torah or keeping the seven Noahide laws? What is appropriate and not appropriate to be said to someone mourning a loss? A difference of opinion is brought. A discussion of the merits of Amon and Moav is brought and what lesson can be learned from them. How do we treat the Samaritans in terms of laws of damages – like non Jews or like Jews?
