“Loud” Vegan Denied Swiss Citizenship

Did you know that cowbells, livestock farming, hunting, pig racing, eating meat, circus animals, mouse-catching, and giving out milk at school are “Swiss values”? Could you have imagined that speaking out against such practices in the media could lead to a denial of Swiss citizenship? Me neither. But CNN is all over this story.

If anyone out there is teaching a citizenship class this semester, this article should definitely be turned into an in-class real-o-thetical. (As in, not a hypothetical but a real-o-thetical.)
