Looking for contributors for animal rights article

I am wondering if someone here would be interested in adding Bhutan perspectives into the article of animal rights. I think current under representation of Bhutan in the article is unacceptable because three-quarters of Bhutan populations practise some forms of Buddhism, many are vegeterians. Bhutan has one of the lowest per capita consumption of meat in the world, this is considered very positive in terms of animal rights SSZvH7N5n8 (talk) 08:37, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
