But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

22:7 let the dam go. Birds and eggs were permissible for food, but God intended for the species to survive, hence the instruction to preserve the mother bird. God evidently had a purpose for each created kind of animal, and it therefore behooves us also to exert all reasonable efforts toward their preservation.
