theist Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I am looking for direct quotes from Indian scriptures that talk to us about how we should relate to those in animal form, what the karma is for mistreating them etc. I am very weak on scripture so all help would be appreciated Thanks Hare Krsna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I quoted three verses from Manu Dharma Shaastra that should be useful. They are in the nirvisesha/shunyavadi thread, in my post dated 7/16/02. Though they simply discuss the consequences of killing animals rather than approaching it from an "animal rights" viewpoint. Frankly, I don't think you will find anything from the latter point of view. - K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theist Posted August 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Thanks, I'll look them up. What is an "animal rights viewpoint?" I want to interject the "sees with equal vision" understanding into that discussion. I want people to understand there is a conscious living being hooked up to that body and contrary to Descarte there is more there than a machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
