In regard to advocates on the animal rights template we should only add notable people who have written in favour of animal rights and not just in passing. Friedrich Nietzsche never wrote about animal rights. He made about two comments in his entire lifetime in opposition to animal cruelty. This does not fit the criteria as someone influential in the historicity of animal rights. As far as I can tell Philipp Mainlander was not an important animal rights advocate either. I removed both of these names. Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:23, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
