one's own self, one should keep sympathy with all of them. Lord Mahaveera stated "all creatures desire self preservation, hence no creature should be killed". Ruskin in "UNTO THIS LAST" states "That the good of the individual is contained in the good of all. Our God is the same God".
One of the tenth order in Christianity mentions "Though shalt not kill". Jesus himself requested his disciples to keep away from bloodshed and flesh cating (XXXIII, 61.1). Pope John Paul II had also spoken on 3rd Oct., 1983 "By learning to live and respect inferior creatures, man will also learn to be mere human with his equals. I am happy to encourage and to bless all those who work, so that animals, plants and minerals may be considered and treated, in a Franciscan way, as brothers and sisters. Koran mentions "Be kind of all creatures", people, fear your lord who created you from single soul and created from it its mate", slaughtering of animals and destroying farms is to bring havac on earth and almighty does not approve it". Lord Buddha stated very strongly "do not kill any animals".
Animal Right Movement:
The present social, ecological and economic crisises compelled human to think about the welfare of other animals also. It is good and timely realisation in the society. There are several legislations issued by all countries for the protection and conservation of animals. Some of them like World Life Protection Act, Migratory Bird Act, Frog Trade Act. etc. are very popular in the society. The movement to protect and preserve animals is catching public support in western world. Peoples are demanding to approve the charter of ANIMAL RIGHTS like human rights. All animals have a right to live and enjoy the beauty of this planet. It is widely believed that we have no right to take their life as we can not give the life to them. The life is from God and its destruction by man is against the wishes to the CREATOR of the universe.
