A judge has ruled that ethical veganism qualifies as a philosophical belief protected under UK law.
Jordi Casamitjana, an"ethical vegan," claims he was dismissed by his employer, animal welfare charity the League Against Cruel Sports, in April 2018 because he informed colleagues that their employer's pension fund was"being invested in companies that experiment on animals" and non-ethical funds -- a claim the charity has rejected. Ethical vegans not only follow a vegan diet, but also oppose the use of animals for any purpose, such as animal testing.
I didn't expect to have a judgement today but the overwhelming weight of the evidence we have provided seems to have been sufficient for the judge to conclude that I'm the ethical vegan I say I am, and that ethical veganism is a protected 'non-religious philosophical belief,'" he said in a statement. "I am not alone. Many people have supported me because they, or their friends, have experienced discrimination for being ethical vegans.
