In India, we have vegetarians only co-operative housing societies. There is a backlash. According to surveys, over 80% of Indians are or have been non-vegetarians. Of late, it has become “fashionable’ for the nouveau riche to embrace vegetarianism. Fake moral superiority to camouflage other unethical practices.

Two of my directors, while claiming to be herbivores, would turn carnivorous and liquor guzzlers given half a chance. And enjoy it. As did my engineer.

The original idea was to keep Muslims out of new societies because their presence depressed prices, so said a big builder. But he cared little if the second sale was to a Muslim. The bottom line is always money.

We have beef-bans, liquor-bans, but no hypocrisy-ban. Unfortunate.

No need to bother suing people who criticize your emotional support animal. Just follow the lead of Albert and his pet krait Adolphe in “We’re No Angels” (1955).

When someone criticizes you for having an emotional support animal, just open the little wicker box and invite them to pet Adolphe and make friends.

Good post. Note that the name of the court decision is “Revock v. Cowpet Bay West Condominium Association.” The word “West” has been left out of the case name above.

In reply to gasman. Gasman, Similar to employment discrimination laws which primarily governs the relationship between employer and employee, the FHA contains harassment and hostile environment provisions which can reach to conduct between renters/owners/lessors.

Not a lawyer and not going to read the whole of the fair housing act.

I guess the big question would be, to whom does the act apply. One would think it governs the relationship between the property owner and the renter/buyer/lessor.
So where do the bloggers enter the picture, and how is it that the act applies to them.
