Mahatma Gandhi is known for the Passive Resistance Movements in India. He has inspired many great leaders from countries around the world to promote piece and nonviolence. In one article, "Religion of Nonviolence," Gandhi tries to explain why the religion of nonviolence can include killing of animals. Can he possibly persuade anyone to think that this religion is free of violence if he still has reason to kill animals? Gandhi discusses when it is necessary to kill animals in their Satyagraha religion. He claims that they only kill when a human life is threatened. In his definition of threatening a human life, he includes many different situations, which increases the chances that an animal will have to be killed. Obviously, most people would consider a threat to human life meaning that an animal was about to kill a human. Maybe a jaguar threatening to pounce on a child or a poisonous snake ready to bite would be the most likely of threats.
