Ethical veganism is a belief protected by law, tribunal rules

Man sacked by League Against Cruel Sports told he is entitled to equality protections

An employment tribunal has ruled that ethical veganism is a philosophical belief that is protected by law against discrimination.

The ruling came in a case brought by Jordi Casamitjana, who claims he was unfairly sacked by the League Against Cruel Sports (LACS), an animal welfare charity, after he raised concerns with colleagues that its pension fund invested in companies involved in animal testing.
