A vegan student studying animal management has won a battle with her college over the right to skip a farming module that would have have involved a trip to an abattoir - forcing tutors to find her a more suitable assessment.
Fiji Willets, 18, didn t expect the topic of farming to come up when she signed up for the BTEC National Extended Diploma in Animal Management at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College.
She joined after reading it was great for people who love animals - but was shocked to discover the course could see her work on a farm and possibly visit an abattoir.
