Bullshit. There are numerous references in ancient writings which make it clear there was an animal rights movement in ancient times.
There were rules against cruelty to animals before you kill them, and killing them in the most humane way possible.

wanton slaughter was a good thing. Whether he was combating the sort of slaughter Elijah supposedly engaged in (people who did not agree with him on matters theological) or the type Samson engaged in (slaughtering people who did not belong to his tribe)
Ah, taking the Noam Chomsky track of conveniently leaving out that the people he was killing were trying very hard to kill or enslave him and his people...

It is impossible that this could have been true without these same folks also being concerned about killing of humans who did not belong to one's religious or national gfoup.
Can you say SELF DEFENSE? Or do you believe that people do not have that basic right? Or is it just people you don't like who don't have that basic right?
