Editing Zoo Code (section)

=== Reverence for life ===

Note that the following section does not deal with the consumption of animals, which was already dealt with above under Vegetarians / Vegans. If your reverence for life and / or nature arises from your religious convictions, please put a + behind the category name.

* R4 - I would never take the life of an animal, under any circumstances, even if it could save the lives of people or animals that are important to me. I would avoid an animal in my car, even if I would endanger myself or other road users.
* R3 - I would only accept the death of an animal if the alternative meant death or serious injury to someone or something that is very important to me. I ignore insects in my apartment or I carry them out. It makes me unhappy if I accidentally run over an animal, however small it may be.
* R2 - I avoid destroying life whenever possible, except when it comes to insects and other creeping things, dangerous or poisonous animals, or my own food. If I accidentally run over a mammal or a bird, it hits me more than the moth that flies in front of my headlights, although I feel sorry for them too.
* R1 - My respect for life is essentially limited to the animals with whom I have a relationship. If I run over a big animal, I'm sorry, but I just clap flies and things to death without batting an eyelid.
