'Ethical veganism' now protected by law after U.K. court ruling
Jordi Casamitjana leaves an Employment Tribunal after it ruled that ethical veganism is a philosophical belief and is therefore protected by law, outside the court in Norwich, England, Jan. 3, 2020. LONDON -- British workers who practice "ethical veganism" to protect animals secured a big win in an employment tribunal when a judge ruled Friday that they are entitled to legal protection from job discrimination.
The ruling came in a claim brought by a man who said he was fired after raising questions about pension fund investments in companies that test products on animals. Ethical vegans go beyond eating a plant-based diet to try to exclude any form of what they believe is animal exploitation, including not wearing wool or leather clothes.
Postle found the beliefs held by ethical vegans to be worthy of respect, compatible with human dignity and not conflicting with the rights of others.
