When we talk of freedom it should be practiced. Of course, in common law the factor of a physically injured party is best evidence (we can see it with our own eyes). Now the mental trauma now goes to the boards for discussion because it is intangible. The word "cult" comes from "culture" and has a negative social connotation. Yet any group could be a cult since they are a collective culture per se. Hence, we must look closer to our definitions for a less emotional reaction to our freedoms. Any practice should be allowed if no one is physically harmed. Mental harm is not tangible and everyone is entitled to an opinion. Remember the old adage "Sticks and stones will break your bones, but words never will harm you." If people are coerced into a group through opinion, no one is At Fault except the one being convinced. Discrimination of right and wrong must be taught in our youth and if not, one may be subject to falsehood. We live in a world of hidden agenda that is only collective paranoia. Until we stop hiding or omitting truth, we will further slide into negativity.

It is difficult to provide an exact number as cults come in different forms and sizes. Estimates vary widely, but there are likely thousands of cults operating around the world, each with their own beliefs, practices, and number of followers.
Of course there are cults in Canada. There are cults anywhere!

As vampires are mythical creature will little to no evidence proving their physical existence, I doubt there are any real vampire cults in the world. I would imagine however that there are sects or groups of people who adopt the vampire lifestyle, and they could be regarded as vampire cults in certain contexts.
