A court in Great Britain is being asked on Thursday to decide whether veganism is a “philosophical belief” akin to a religion and thus should be protected under law.
The case stems from a claim filed by Jordi Casamitjana, who says he is an “ethical vegan,” and will walk rather than take a bus, which might accidentally crash into insects or birds and injure or kill them. Casamitjana worked for the animal welfare charity the League Against Cruel Sports, according to the BBC, and pointed out to his superiors that the organization had invested pension funds in firms involved in animal testing.
