Abstract

The view of animals held by those in the Indian milieu differs radically from that held by those living in the European-Western technological matrix. Similar views are found in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism, influencing Asian attitudes and offering a unique perspective on the role of animals in the drama of human life. In the material that follows, I will discuss the treatment of animals in two traditions: Jainism, which has remained confined primarily to the Indian subcontinent for reasons we will see below, and Buddhism, which spread from India to Central Asia, China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia.
