So when he discovered that his employer was investing his money into practices that were cruel to animals, he knew he had to stand up and fight.

Kate Gerbeau speaks to Dr Jeanette Rowley of The Vegan Society, Peter Daly, employment lawyer at Slater and Gordon and Domenic Kennedy, reporter at The Times about Jordi’s landmark legal case.
