Rejected petition Make discrimination specifically against vegans a criminal offence.
Every day I see examples of discrimination against vegans.
Vegans are subjected to mockery, made to feel like they are a problem and even threatened with violence for their views.
Vegans are not offered a proper choice on many airlines, in care homes, schools, hospitals, prisons, etc.
More details
Vegans have non vegan items put in their food/other products without clear labelling or deliberately.
I had prawns put in a “vegan” meal & only got an apology. In many places I get no healthy vegan option at all. I don’t expect all businesses to have vegan options but some sectors should.
Also I am forced to handle non vegan items in total disregard of my strong ethical objections. This should not be legal.
People calling themselves vegan has grown to 7% of the UK population from 1% in 2 years.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you'd like more legal protections for vegans, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
If you'd like it to be illegal not to offer a vegan option, or to give a vegan non-vegan food, you could start a petition calling on Parliament to make that change to the law.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
