Buddhism
"Let us remember that we who desire peace on this planet desire it for all
animals, not just those of our own species. Other animals are not inferior,
just different from us." And (one of the five precepts) "I undertake the

Eightfold Path, part of the Fourth Noble Truth), "Right conduct. Never kill
or harm any living creature."
