In my mind they sound very close to being considered a religious party. I too shall have to watch this now, just to see what is being said.

A set of tenets or beliefs that only an act of faith sustains. And no-one has the right to force their beliefs onto me, nor do they have that right
under law.

Under re-incarnation belief systems, the soul matures over time as karma is paid off. The soul becomes ideally more pure during each re-birth.

And your value system is just that yours not mine.

They will not define for me what it means to be a true animal lover. I was a vegetarian long long before it was "hip" to be a vege. I am not one now. There was no epiphany of faith or belief that moved me in and out, just a matter of what worked for me in my own body and when it changed I changed too.

I grew up as the only tomgirl with a group of lads. They hunted and fished and ate what they caught. I learnt to fish and to hunt, although both were short lived adventures. And yes they forced me to clean the fish I caught. I only ever killed one animal and that was one too many for me. I stuck to target shooting, then gave that up too.

When you are in the backwoods it is best to have some defense with you. Black bears are truly scarey beings, not to mention a Moose in full Rut.
