For anyone that doesnt know about viva: (copied from their site)
Viva! was founded in 1994 by Juliet Gellatley,
who is the organisation’s director. She also founded Viva!’s sister
group, a registered charity called the Vegetarian & Vegan
Foundation, in 2002 – see www.vegetarian.org.uk)
“The most powerful action you can take to end animal
suffering, improve your health, protect the environment and bring
fairness to the world’s poor is to stop eating meat, dairy and fish.
Support us and help Viva! campaign for a better world.” Juliet Gellatley, Founder & Director of Viva!
Every year, one billion animals face the
barbarity of slaughter in Britain, and a further 4.5 billion fish and
2.6 billion shellfish are killed for the UK. Most animals spend their
short lives in misery, imprisoned in the squalor of factory farms. Many
are fully conscious when they are killed by having their throats cut.
“The human appetite for animal flesh is a driving force
behind virtually every major category of environmental damage –
deforestation, erosion, fresh water scarcity, air and water pollution
and climate change” (WorldWatch
Institute, Washington). At sea, fishing has brought all the
world's
oceans to the point of collapse. Yet still politicians fail
to act.
Millions of children in the developing
world die from hunger - alongside fields of high-quality food, destined
for the West’s farmed animals. The startling truth is that meat causes
starvation.
The science is now overwhelming - vegetarians are
healthier than meat eaters and are likely to live longer. Yet the food
industry continues aggressively to promote animal products to our
children, helping to destroy their health and threatening their future.
With the simple decision to stop eating animals, you
cease to play a part in this destruction. By supporting Viva! you are
part of the fight back against cynicism, self interest and cruelty.
It is a fight for life!

year)(under 18s)
You’ll get:
The stickers will get used! I love the magazine - although its got lots of sad stuff it about what people are doing to animals around the world like slaugher etc it just shows you how cruel the world actually is. But it also adds in good things like interviews with veggie/vegan band members, people raising money to help animals, has advertisements for vegetarian/vegan places like bed and breakfasts etc, different animal charitys and what they do, veggie / vegan food advertisements etc
really good for £5 a year
