Jaînism
The Jaïnism, one of the main historical Indian religion, apeard around 680 BC. Its founder, Mahavira, attached great importance to life ; today the word ahimsa (the main Jain rule, religious wish) means in Hindi "non-violence".
Jainism respects life in all its forms, therefor Jains exclude from their diet all meat, fish, egg, honey, unfiltered water and plants with roots (because animals may be killed by tearing).
Some Jain ascets also wear on their face a mask of cotton so as not to swallow microscopic animals, and Jains in India have opened several hospitals for animals or even houses for animals to retire.
