UK: Is Veganism a Religion? An Employment Tribunal Is Having to Decide
3rd December 2018
A man taking the League Against Cruel Sports to an employment tribunal claiming ethical veganism is akin to a religion? It probably had Britain’s sizeable corps of Mr Angrys spluttering into their cornflakes.
Jordi Casamitjana, the vegan in question, says he was dismissed after disclosing the League invested its pension funds in firms involved in animal testing. He claims his treatment amounts to discrimination because of his passionate vegan beliefs.
Vegans certainly act as if it were a religion.
UPDATE: UK Man Claims Veganism Is A Religion, Sues Former Employer
A U.K. man claimed that “ethical veganism” is a religion in a lawsuit against his former employer over his termination for objecting to animal testing.
It may be a philosophy but it isn’t a religion, although they surely act as if it were.
