Bava Kamma 54 - All Animals are Equal in Front of the Law

The same law that applies to an ox applies also to any domestic animal in regard to 
  1. payment of damages for its falling into a pit, 
  2. forceful separation from Mount Sinai at the Giving of the Torah, 
  3. the twofold payment a thieth must make for stealing an animal, 
  4. returning a lost object,
  5. unloading an animal,
  6. prohibition of muzzling an animal when it is threshing,
  7. prohibition of mating or plowing with diverse species together,
  8. prohibition of having one's animal work on Sabbath.
Moreover, any wild beast or bird is legally the same.

Why is an ox or donkey mentioned specifically? Because Scripture speaks of the usual case.
