Proverbs 12:10 Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
Exodus 23:4-5 If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey wandering away, you shall surely return it to him. If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying helpless under its load, you shall refrain from leaving it to him, you shall surely release it with him.
Exodus 23:12 Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant woman, and the alien, may be refreshed.
So, the Bible does talk about not treating animals unjustly. I don't think it makes any sort of PETA type arguments though, and it has no problem with the sacrificing and eating of animals, or using animals for work, but it does seem to preach against forcing animals to suffer just to suffer.
