The vegan debate has taken another absurd turn

Naturally, the news that the League Against Cruel Sports is being sued by an ethical vegan, one Jordi Casamitjana, for discrimination – on the basis he was allegedly sacked for his beliefs – cheered up my whole day. The hunting sabs being called out for not occupying the moral high ground – Casamitjana says they sacked him for saying their pension funds were invested in firms that were not as ethical as they might be, having participated in animal testing – just goes to show that even the most intolerant prigs can always be outclassed by someone on the even higher moral ground. Ha, and then ha.

But a cursory look at the case suggests that it goes beyond a pension fund dispute – and incidentally, the League says this wasn’t why Casajitjana was sacked; my own guess it may have been because he was a pain in the neck, even for people who go around intimidating hunters.
