  2. You are vegan? Nice to have lived a life of privilege and to have never been hungry.

    Cold alone and hungry in the woods it’s the rabbit or me.

    And it is why we say grace at the table. It does not need to be thanks to Jesus Budda Mo or any other God. It can be thanks that a trucker did a 14 hr trip or a shopkeeper opened late on Friday

    Eating meat and giving thanks so you can live another day.

    So you vegan….. the chicken or you. You pick.

    I’ll eat the meat. Give thanks and give back to this world. You go eff yourself and die.

      1. Many fake charities, the media and the government are working very hard on forcing you and I towards their UN-sponsored vegan goals, and are upping their game. Even fast food companies are serving vegan menus. Read the new Canada Food Guide. Watch the food network – no tips on how to prepare Steak Diane. Food reviews in your local news – all the trendy places are vegan.

  4. The burning forest must have had tonnes of roasted mushrooms and other edible fungi, along the forest floor. But he deigned not to eat off of the forest floor.

    Next spring, the forest floor will produce oodles of wild blueberries and wild strawberries. And the omnivores, fat bears will survive the winter to feast on them.

    You’d be surprised how many life saving calories, a bear can find in a single vegan.

  5. So basically one dude out of a thousand wants special treatment for his creed.
    I dub him a Creedtard.
    He’ll probably win his case.

  6. I queried this question: Is veganism a religion? and got this answer:
    -Veganism is not a religion. We do not have any dogma, we do not worship any deities, and we do not have any place of worship.
    Nor is it a diet. Veganism is a philosophical choice of non-violence, and compassion to sentient animals.-

    He can sue all he wants. Was a contract violated?
    I doubt anyone can win a law suite simply because their philosophical choice just wasn’t on the menu.

    1. Sentient animals?

      Au contraire, mon ami

      Veganism IS a religion, if they “believe” animals are sentient.

        You do understand that religion is protected by the 1st Amendment and the Canadian Charter of Rights, yes?
        Don’t keep calling modes of thinking a religion when they aren’t, Dumbass.

        Religions answer the great Questions of the Universe like: Where did I come from, Why am I here, Where am I going, etc.
        If modes of thinking do not answer these types of questions, they are not a religion.
        As a nominal Christian, you should know better.

          /sarc.

          There, I fixed it for you. Sometimes I forget that my sarcastic drawl doesn’t come across in my typing. However, the ‘nominal’ Christian part is just silly. I will go toe to toe with you theologically, if you wish. I confess and BELIEVE the Nicene Creed, if that makes you feel more comfortable with my ‘nominal’ faith. It’s bad enough I go toe to toe with NME666-1/6 … that I have to go toe to toe with you …

  7. Fire the idiot and let him go eat grass somewhere else on the planet.

  8. Money quote

    “No one seemed to take my ethical beliefs seriously,”

    No $hit Sherlock. Its the middle of a crisis and you “volunteer” your precious time and add a burden to the rest of the volunteers to make sure you get accommodated.
    Next time instead of heading off on what is likely a place where tofu burgers won’t be on the menu because well its basically combat field rations cause crisis, just cut a cheque to the Red Cross and keep the virtue signaling at home while the real volunteers fight the forest fire.

    1. Ha, excellent point.

      The other week, I overheard an outspoken Vegan I know confess to someone that they eat chicken when they visit their mom because “she just doesn’t understand”. Vegans are just another brand of self-important virtue-signalers.

    2. Indeed. My thought was, “He’s in the middle of a damned forest. Why can’t he just browse?”

  11. I am sad that my comment contributes in a small way to the recognition this pathetic turd so desperately seeks.

  12. No prizes for guessing the preferred diet of the arsonists who set most of the fires in the first place, so they can be blamed on “climate change.”

  13. With his complaint he’s just blurring the fine distinction between an individual with a sincere ethical belief and a selfish prick with no regard for what others must do to meet their unique demands.

    I hope the tribunal sees him for what he is, I sure can. The first summer I worked fire suppression in the 70’s we had a vegetarian on our crew. He made extra work for our cook every day. She worked hard enough as it was, seven days a week. He bitched about the effing meat in the sandwiches she made for our lunches until she’d heard enough; after that she just put all the ingredients out after supper and told us to “make your own damn sandwiches”.

    Later in my career I learned that the appropriate workplace classification for a selfish prick is ‘disruptive influence’.

    1. Yes, but the snowflakes can sue for it being a toxic workplace or go on stress leave.

    2. Nick great comment, I fought fires for my working career, never had to work with a suck like this guy. He would have been fired, at least I hope he would. The fellows I worked with would have run him off.

  14. e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e’s physiology is different.
    I have grown accustomed to meat protein in my diet regularly.
    I’ve noticed a ‘salad only’ lunch thing can often leave me with munchies soon after.
    kinda like my stomach gives a ‘wtf was THAT supposed to be?’
    I actually feel a bit nauseous if I havent eaten in a while. any kind of decent protein will suffice,
    incl a platter of peanut butter and crackers.
    but strict vegan? I dont even know what the distinction is from ‘vegetarian’.
    at which point I conclude it is NOT dietary but rather a socio-political statement.
    common with the left that politicizes e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g

    I once went to an all-you-can-eat. packed away 4 plates of dinner and 3 of desert. my buddy was amazed.
    I can do that because I was born into a wood frame house with no central heat and no insulation.
    my metabolism is hard wired to burn off calories in body heat to fend off the cold.
    because of that I did my ice diving qualifications in a std wet suit 40 years later. 3/4 hour in -1 C water.
    oyph. I could not feel my forehead. lol !!!

    1. What are the new generation of fat kids/ millennials eating? Processed non-meat, mostly, cheese and tons of carbos. Eating protein takes work for the body, sufficient to wipe out some calories consumed. We knew that, a lot of salad with bad oil and snacks after to fill up, has about the same effect as a 6-pack, with the resulting beer belly. Someone has to be at home to cook properly.

  15. Are fire fighters entitled to free food? Why did he not bring his own if he did not like what was on offer.

  16. In 1974 I was on the St. Elias project, mapping the geology with the GSC of the area that became Kluane National Park; our cook was studying for her MD with a specialty in nutrition. She fed us all some 10,000 calories per day; traversing some 10,000 vertical feet on most days, 7 days a week all summer, that’s what one was expected to burn. It’s not a job for anyone, and neither is fighting forest fires.

    If your personal ‘creed’ prevents you from ingesting the required nutrition, that’s solely your concern, not anyone else’s. I agree with Nick–he’s just a selfish prick, and am a bit disappointed that in moving between fire-fighting and a later professional career that the term got sanitized to ‘disruptive influence’. I spent some time driving a logging truck–selfish prick seems to still suit well, plus a few adjectives.

    (And nobody gained any weight on that St. Elias project!)

    1. Agreed Len.

      Having cut line during northern Manitoba winters, I used to eat 2 heaping plates for breakfast, more than I do all day now. In other employment, working late in remote areas meant making due. Have had Clamato for dinner at the end of of a 14 hour day, after walking a few miles from the airport to the motel because the cab driver stopped working during normal business hours. Wanna work outside the city – even when there isn’t a fire emergency – better be prepared to make some sacrifices.

      I don’t like cilantro, but if gloved hands touched that soap-tainted devil weed before they poured my Clamato at the end of my no-lunch-14-hour-duty-day you can be damn sure I’d STFU and drink my Clamato.

  17. So his/its real complaint is;”They refused to validate my awesomeness”.
    What do you bet ,it was also a load on those who were actually fighting the fire?
    The kind of “help” you leave sitting in a pickup, for everyones sanity.
