A Canadian smoke-eater is fired up over the lack of vegan food provided to him while he battled a massive forest blaze.

Ontario firefighter and self-described “ethical vegan” Adam Knauff, 40, claims his human rights were violated in 2017 when he fought the fire near Williams Lake in British Columbia, CTV News reported.

Knauff has officially filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario against his employer, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, for allegedly failing to deliver him vegan food — and then suspending him after he piped up about the matter.

“The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry discriminated against me and failed to accommodate my sincerely held ethical beliefs (creed) when it failed to provide me with food that accommodated my personal commitment to ethical veganism, and then disciplined me and suspended me because I attempted to assert my right to accommodation of that sincerely held ethical belief,” Knauff wrote in the complaint, the news outlet reported.

Knauff went on to say in the complaint: “I am an ethical vegan in that I not only follow a vegan diet, but I extend the philosophy of non-consumption of animal products to all other areas of my life.”

“I do not think that humans have the moral right to oppress other beings, or to cause them pain and suffering.”

Knauff was one of 1,000 firefighters to arrive at Williams Lake on July 15, 2017, to battle the forest fire — which caused the evacuation of about 10,000 homes — for up to 16 hours per day.

The firefighter claims that the ministry knew about his dietary constraints since he filled out a food information form for the trip.

“On some days during my deployment to Williams Lake, I was not provided with any food that was vegan or not otherwise contaminated with animal products, and therefore forced to go hungry,” Knauff wrote in the complaint, according to CTV News.

The day after arriving in the area, Knauff claims, he was forced to eat salad and side dishes, and the next day only plain bagels and coffee from a Tim Horton’s — the only nearby store that was open.

The following day, Knauff says, he was only given “beans, oatmeal and fruits” to eat.

“After working 16-hour days for four days with inadequate nutrition I began to feel physically ill and mentally groggy,” Knauff wrote. “Until that point I had been trying to push through my hunger and exhaustion, sustaining myself on nuts and fruits.”

During one of the days fighting the fire, Knauff says, a “single black bean” was his only source of protein.

Vegan burgers were supposed to be served at a barbecue for the firefighters on July 23 of that year, but Knauff claims the chef handled regular beef patties with the same gloves he used to handle the vegan patties, ultimately tainting them.

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

The next day when Knauff was not served any protein, he went to his supervisor, who offered him protein bars.

“I was upset and told him ‘no,”‘ and then he told him — with a curse word — “to fix the problem,” Knauff wrote. “I know that I should not have sworn … but I was starving, exhausted, humiliated and defeated … I had reached my breaking point.”

When he was served some non-vegan food the next day, he dumped it out in front of food staffers, angrily saying, “This isn’t vegan,” according to the news site.

And that’s when Knauff’s supervisor sent him home, the news outlet reported.

The ministry denied Knauff’s allegations that his human rights were violated and said Knauff was suspended three days without pay due to his “inappropriate, insubordinate, unprofessional and aggressive behavior.”

The ministry also claims that Knauff threw the non-vegan food at staffers — an accusation Knauff denies.

Knauff was ultimately barred from fighting fires outside the province for the rest of 2017 and all of 2018.

The ministry, according to CTV News, said that Knauff’s “vegan status is a sincerely held lifestyle choice, but does not meet the legal definition of creed” and said it “supported the employee and accommodated his food restrictions as if it were a component of his health needs or part of a recognized creed.”
