How is liability settled if two colliding animals have different values?

Primary text
If the values of the two animals are equal, they cancel each other out. If one is more valuable, its owner receives the difference. If only one animal dies, the surviving party is liable for its full value; if it is diminished in value, the surviving party is liable for the depreciation.
