Laws of divine and mythical origin proclaim killing of animals unlawful. Animals in cave painting are rarely shown as being hunted or eaten. Many ancient religions as well as those that evolved from them advocate kindness to animals and often prescribe vegetarianism as a way of life. In the 8th century BCE Hesiod speaks of the golden age without slaughter. Pre-socratic philosopher Pythagoras advocated a natural diet; entire essays against flesh-eating extant can be found as far back as the first century; and later authors continued to advocate the Pythagorean diet of fruits and vegetables. Pleas from vegetarians, remarks of individuals whose sentiments suggest they might be vegetarians—although history offers no proof—and remarks against cruelty of slaughter and eating of flesh document the history of vegetarianism.
