May one stand an animal on attached vegetation on Shabbat, and what about on muktzeh matter?
Synopsis
Standing an animal on attached vegetation is permitted — we are not concerned the owner will detach any. Standing an animal directly on muktzeh matter is forbidden due to concern the owner may hand-feed from it. But positioning an animal so it must turn past the muktzeh is permitted.
