Allow vegans to opt-out of paying taxes that subsidise animal agriculture

Closed 1,466 signatures

What the petition asks

Give vegans the option to opt out of paying taxes that subsidise an industry we are fundamentally against. It is against our beliefs and ethics (protected by the Equality Act of 2010) that we pay/fund such an industry with our hard earned taxes.
We think that vegans should be given the option to ensure that their taxes do not contribute to the upkeep of animal agricultural industries. We want an option to ensure our taxes are only spent on things we are comfortable with and that align with our beliefs.
