Bava Metzia7: 9
זְאֵב אֶחָד אֵינוֹ אֹנֶס; שְׁנֵי זְאֵבִים — אֹנֶס. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: בִּשְׁעַת מִשְׁלַחַת זְאֵבִים — אַף זְאֵב אֶחָד אֹנֶס. שְׁנֵי כְלָבִים אֵינוֹ אֹנֶס. יַדּוּעַ הַבַּבְלִי אוֹמֵר מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי מֵאִיר: מֵרוּחַ אַחַת — אֵינוֹ אֹנֶס; מִשְּׁתֵּי רוּחוֹת — אֹנֶס. הַלִּסְטֵם — הֲרֵי זֶה אֹנֶס. הָאֲרִי, וְהַדֹּב, וְהַנָּמֵר, וְהַבַּרְדְּלָס, וְהַנָּחָשׁ — הֲרֵי זֶה אֹנֶס. אֵימָתַי? בִּזְמַן שֶׁבָּאוּ מֵאֲלֵיהֶן. אֲבָל אִם הוֹלִיכָן לִמְקוֹם גְּדוּדֵי חַיָּה וְלִסְטִים — אֵינוֹ אֹנֶס.
One wolf is not an unavoidable accident; two wolves is an unavoidable accident. R’ Yehudah says: At a time when wolves are sent out, even one wolf is an unavoidable accident. Two dogs is not an unavoidable accident. Yaddua the Babylonian says in the name of R’ Meir: From one direction, it is not an unavoidable accident; from two directions, it is an unavoidable accident. A brigand is an unavoidable accident. A lion, a bear, a leopard, a bardelas, or a snake is an unavoidable accident. When? When they came of themselves. But if he led them to a place [frequented by] bands of beasts or brigands, it is not an unavoidable accident.
