"Unlike those religions and philosophies which regard animals as soulless automata incapable of thought or feeling, animals have always been regarded in Buddhist thought as sentient beings"

Unless you can specify which religions/ philosophies regard animals as "soulless automata" this part should be edited or removed. As a matter of fact, since Buddhism denies the existence of a soul, animals are considered "soulless" in Buddhism! It is also POV to state that Buddhist texts speak "movingly" about animal suffering. Consider some editing. TheEvilPanda 23:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
