Disparaging vegans could now land you behind bars for discrimination, a UK labor court ruled.
On Friday, a tribunal in Norwich, England, determined that ethical veganism is a “religion or belief,” and one of the nine “protected characteristics” under the 2010 Equality Act.
The ruling comes after Jordi Casamitjana of London claimed he had been fired by the League Against Cruel Sports as a result of his ethical veganism. Casamitjana said he was compelled to blow the whistle on his former employer, who he says had invested pension funds into firms that tested on animals.
According to the League Against Cruel Sports, Casamitjana, 55, had instead been dismissed for gross misconduct, adding that it is “factually wrong” to associate his firing with his beliefs. They also agree that ethical veganism should be protected. […]

Just another example of a country gone mad.
Could land you behind bars for discrimination
The UK is off the rails. Anything that sits in the left column is sacred. It’s just nuts.
The UK is 70% gone, by its own hand.
Subhuman, troglodyte-from-hell muslims(SPIT!) will get the last 30%.
Not a free country.
vegan = old injun word ... means “lousy hunter”
Just think that we have tombstones as far as the horizon in Europe of men who died so that.......I don’t know anymore!
What vegans about harassing meat eaters?
Is tbat also verboten?
Casamitjana’s vegan beliefs are so fervent that he’ll often avoid taking a bus..
That’s unrelated. Germany declared war on us in 1941; imagine if someone like Obama was president back then.
It’s what happened after that war that is a clue to the present state of affairs.
Never mind bats at night (mostly) as well.
And if he lived in some parts of the USA instead, he’d be worrying about flying squirrels too.
Well, shoot, guess the UK is off my alternative locations list. ‘cause I’m always going to tell the old Indian joke... What do you call a vegan? Lousy hunter.
To Casamitjana,
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, you eat nothing but veggies....
I hope he doesn’t walk on the ground with his big feet.
What about the bugs and worms he mashes?
This WOO WOO may as well stop breathing. Has he considered those innocent germs and other microbes he kills whenever he inhales?
