Ancient Religions
Although Jainism is the only religion to consistently advocate against harming any living being, passages against cruelty to animals can be found in the literature of many other ancient religions as well as those that evolved from them: Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity and others advocate kindness to animals and often prescribe vegetarianism as a way of life. Documenting the source of these specific religious teachings against cruelty to animals and their views regarding vegetarianism will be an enormous task due to the sheer volume of ancient religious texts, interpretations and translations. In order to move forward in this timeline, I must allow this paragraph to introduce these writings for now and leave you, the reader to pursue these lines of inquiry at your own leisure. As time has permitted, I have introduced some of these writings through both primary and secondary sources. | ||||||||
