Why did we rule on killing the animal rather than the one who did it, when the hadith is the same?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Any call in al-Bathinah, so we took the second hadith, which states that it is to be killed,

The Shaykh : Yes, this is a pertinent question, O 'Abd Allah. He asks: Why did you take part of the hadith and not the rest? Yes, they said: We took that because there is a discussion regarding the hadith, and taking the life of a Muslim or a man is more severe than taking the life of an animal, because the animal is property, and it is permissible to impose a discretionary punishment for the destruction of property. As for the human being, he is a soul, and the blood of a Muslim is not lawful except by one of three things.
