Should Vegans Be Protected By Anti-Discrimination Laws? – Ep 164
The Bearded Vegans are back from their winter break, refreshed and ready to bring you new weekly episodes! They start by catching up on one of the most talked-about news stories of the past month: a lawsuit in the UK alleging that a man was fired for being an ethical vegan. The case could legally assign ethical veganism as being protected by the Equality Act. They’ll discuss whether or not they think this case could go through in today’s political climate, ask if vegans are a marginalized group in need of protection by anti-discrimination laws, and do their best to explore all the various slippery slopes that this ruling could potentially lead us down.
