Man Files Lawsuit Claiming Veganism as a "Religious Belief" 😮

A man who claims he was fired for being a vegan has now filed a lawsuit that will force a
judge to determine if veganism is considered a "philosophical or religious belief." Jordi Casamitjana, who lives in the United Kingdom, claims he was fired from his job at the League Against Cruel Sports over his “ethical vegan” beliefs, the BBC reports. He later filed a discrimination lawsuit against the organization, which is a charity group focused on animal welfare, that will be decided in front of an employment tribunal starting on Thursday. If the panel rules in Casamitjana’s favor, it will officially establish veganism as a “philosophical or religious belief” under the U.K.’s Equality Act 2010.
