Jains don't believe in animal rights. I don't know the alma'arri, but I do know that it was mostly people advocating for their own full humanity that won them progress.
Now you’re just proving that you know less about this topic than you think you do. Jains almost completely refuse to eat animal products and they walk a certain way to prevent potentially harming microbes. They’ve have been advocating for animal rights for over 2500 years and were first ones to open animal shelters in India.
al-Ma'arri was a philosopher, he was regarded as the one the earliest animal advocates in history.
what are the enumerated rights Jains bestow upon animals? there are none.
Oh great more bad faith arguing.
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith.
Nah, I’m done arguing with you. I’m not wasting my time with a troll.
You’re on the block list now.
oh thank God.
calling me names doesn't change the facts
