Humanism

[Fidel_Castronaut]

FWIW I wouldn't take that sentiment literally. A lot of what the BHA does is lobby and campaign on secular and non-religious rights in, for example, education and employment, but they are also ardent supporters of international and national charities and campaign groups that seek to stop the sale and export of animal matter for things like Chinese medicine, or the illegal exportation and importation of poached and captured animals.

Whilst true they seem to approach this from the view that, as in the above example, Chinese or oriental medicine is almost without exception hokum and hence the sacrifice of the animals is completely unwarranted, I think you'll find most BHA members and supporters are also very much for animal rights (within reason).
