vegetarian population in India is very high. It suggests good animal rights.
Hinduism philosophy of human-animal relationship is unlike Abrahamic religions. Hinduism thinks animals have souls and are reincarnated humans.
There are Indian figures/academics promoting some forms of animal rights ideology. They do not have to call the position animal rights since it's an English term (the official language is Standard Hindi), as long they promote compassion and respect for animals. Their views should be included too. I am aware
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi said "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated", Search the sentence in Google book for reference (too many). We can also include Maneka Gandhi
text from Tokugawa Tsunayoshi "In the 1690s and first decade of the 18th century, Tsunayoshi, who was born in the Year of the Dog, thought he should take several measures concerning dogs. A collection of edicts released daily, known as the Edicts on Compassion for Living Things (生類憐みの令 Shōruiawareminorei?) "
text from wikipedia article Slaughterhouse: "In many societies, traditional cultural and religious aversion to slaughter led to prejudice against the people involved. In Japan, where the ban on slaughter of livestock for food[specify] was lifted only in the late 19th century".
The article does not address the basic question of "which animals have rights?" Many feel very protective animals that are frequently kept as pets, such as dogs and cats. The question of "rights" for destructive animals is ignored: rats, termites, mosquitoes, fleas, corn borers, potato beetles, army worms, boll weevils, fire ants, locusts, etc. The article is incomplete without addressing this.
