Thank you for your learned article on Mr P.
It confirms my decision to register myself as a Pythagorean.
There is a 25,000 euro fine for giving misleading information

Do You really believe in a hierarchie of animals, an animal kingdom?
That's taking racism into nature!
Of course there are different races of animals, but racism attaches a
value to each race,
degrades some races as of lower decency.
"The premise for reaping the reward of one¹s life in a new earthly
existence (instead of the heavenly afterlife) appeared in the Brahmana
writings (9th century BC)."
"Who steals food becomes a rat; who steals grain becomes a locust...
perfumes, a muskrat; honey, a gadfly; flesh, a vulture; and salt, an
ant.... Who commits unnatural vice becomes a village pig; who consorts
with a Sudra woman becomes a bull; who is passionate becomes a lustful
horse.... These and other signs and births are seen to be the karma of
the embodied, made by themselves in this world. Thus the makers of bad
karma, having experienced the tortures of hell, are reborn with the
residues of their sins, in these stated forms (Garuda Purana 5)."

So pigs are of lesser grade than bulls and these lesser than horses.
And this builds a truely "natural basis" to carry racism into society.
Look for the sudras, mentioned above:

Do You really want to have other people (or Yourself) live a life in
this way:
