History of vegetarianism and respecting on animal rights in Iran
Aryans abstain of eating meat. Before Islam coming, Zoroaster promotes veganism in Iran as God messenger. He institution three rules:
Good behaviour, good thought, good saying .
He said to his followers that they mustn't kill poor animals, because they are God creature and he know killing objectionable.
We can read from Avesta (holy book of Zoroaster) that the first job of humans was farming, and so neat feed was vegetables and fruit that gave to mans by earth.
Accursed anyone who kill animals (Avesta)
We can read also in Dabestan book:
"But God man's never eat meat because it isn't a human kind character, and whenever you killed an animal for your nourishment, your will going to be voracity"
We have several poems about animal's right and the human behaviour, sa’di and molana are two poets; for example:
"I heard a man survived a sheep from wolf hunting, But at the night he took knife on sheep neck, The soul of sheep became sad and said: Although you released me from wolf teeth but I saw that you are my killer!"
If humankind wants to reach evolution, it must be in a natural environment with natural food.
