Viva! or Vegetarians' International Voice for Animals, is a British animal rights group, which focuses on promoting vegetarianism and veganism. It was founded by Juliet Gellatley in 1994. Viva! carries out undercover investigations to expose the abuse of factory farmed animals and produces information on how to go vegetarian and vegan including recipes and shopping guides.
Overview
Viva! is based in Bristol, with a branch office in Poland. The group is an active campaigning organisation, working on issues such as factory farming and slaughter. Campaigns include End Factory Farming, Eat Green (the new environment campaign for 2009), Foie-Gras free Britain, Exotic Meat, Ban the Farrowing Crate, Dark Side of Dairy and youth campaigns including The Big Coverup.
Viva! organizes the biannual national "Incredible Veggie Roadshow" in London, along with other regional roadshows across the UK designed to help people become vegetarian or vegan. In addition to producing leaflets, guides, reports, websites and other materials, the group publishes a triannual journal entitled Viva! LIFE, which includes recent research and campaign information, as well as vegan recipes. Viva! enjoys the support of numerous well-known entertainers,including Paul McCartney.
Viva!’s Vegetarian Video is Food For Life
from EVU News, Issue 1 /1998
Vegetarianism is the fastest-growing Lifestyle in Britain, particularly among teenagers.
To help the process, the campaigning vegetarian and vegan charity Viva! has produced a new video, Food for Life, aimed specifically at teenagers and their parents. It’s presenters are super-cool vegetarians Tina Landini, from Channel Five TV’s soap Family Affairs, and mega-fit Gladiators’ athlete Emmil Watson.
‘The main reason why young people become vegetarian is concern for the way animals are kept’, says Juliet Gellatley, Founder & Director of the vegetarian charity Viva! ‘But there is now overwhelming scientific evidence that a vegetarian diet is one of the healthiest possible so any decision to give up meat should be supported and encouraged. Food for Life covers most of the vegetarian issues and is a superb and reassuring introduction for anyone considering making the change’.
Emmil takes Tina on a voyage of discovery to meet different experts in this documentary style video. They include a doctor of nutrition, an environmentalist, a zoologist and veggie cookery writer Rose Elliot.
‘The issue which seems to worry people most – quite unnecessarily as it happens – is health and nutrition so we have given both great prominence,’ explains Ms Gellatley.
‘The visual imagery of commercial fishing and the way in which animals are kept is so powerful that they speak for themselves’. Food for Life also looks at environmental degradation and developing world issues.
The tone of the presenters is light hearted and never preachy while the overall impact of the video is to provide a convincing scientific case for a vegetarian lifestyle. ‘It presents powerful evidence of a failing world but gives young people a truly positive message about the actions they can take to improve things,’ concludes Ms Gellatley.
A very convincing and professionally made video by Tony Wardle Productions in Brighton.
It is 24 mins and costs £6.99 (VHS PAL version) or £7.99 (NTSC ver-sion, p&p rates) from:

英国将在本世纪内全国茹素

最新的政府文件显示，推动全英国无肉品的努力正前进中。
最近英国环境食物农村部门(*注一)公布的数据显示，英国人所吃动物的数目正快速缩减中。虽然政府还未誓言禁肉，可能也不需要－－因为英国已经在素食化中，这并不是愚人节的玩笑。
根据欧洲最大的动物权益鼓吹团体－国际替动物发声素食联盟(Viva)，如果持续目前的趋势，英国将於本世纪下半完全茹素(*注二).
最新的官方统计数据显示，英国去年比前年少屠杀了一千三百多万农场养殖动物。而此联盟确信此一趋势正持续中，2008年比2005年要少屠杀近五千万动物。该联盟并补充说明，数字下降并非因为英国从其它国家进口更多肉品。数据显示，去年英国家禽肉的消费大幅下降了六万七千吨（4%）；猪肉消费量惊人的下降了七万四千吨（下跌超过5%）。
国际替动物发声素食联盟(Viva)相信，越来越多的英国人正欣然接受一种更慈悲健康的生活方式。此官方统计数据发佈的时间更是恰到好处，大大有助於推广该集团的国内展演《不可思议的素食者》－即将於 4月18日伦敦演出。
「即使目前政府仍拒绝推动伦理和有益环境的无肉饮食，但有那么多的英国消费者作出自己的决定继续加入素食的行列中，真是太棒了！」该联盟活动推动经理贾斯汀·科斯蔚说。「然而，在英国每年为了肉食，依然有几乎九亿动物被杀害。其中大多数被杀动物寿命短的骇人听闻，生活在骯脏恶劣的环境下，时时面临可怕的死亡。所以我们显然还有很长的路要走，但我们正迈向胜利。对动物的虐待及健康，和这星球近况的关怀正与日俱增；而素食和纯素提供了所有这些问题的解决之道。它被需要极力推广的程度是前所未有的。」
《编辑的补充说明》
根据Mintel市场调查（2006年），全英国人口的5到6%已持素，而且还正在上升中。 2007年为琳达麦卡特尼食品做的调查，发现约有10%的英国人不吃红肉，少吃肉的人也大为增加，而且有三千一百万人大部分时间吃素。纯素者的数量在过去10年中也增加了十倍，多达百万人。
平均英国人一生中吃掉11,047隻动物： 1头鹅，1隻兔，4头牛，18头猪，23隻羊和羔羊，28隻鸭，39隻火鸡，1,158隻鸡，3,593个贝类和6182条鱼。国际替动物发声素食联盟提供援助，给那些愿意放弃或减少肉类的人。任何人都可以在以下网站检查自己的动物屠宰率http://www.timetogoveggie.com

(*注二) 据英国环境食物农村部门的统计，英国在2008年屠杀了八亿八千一百八十万零一千土地动物（鸡，鸭，火鸡，猪，绵羊和牛）。若除以一千三百零三万五千（2008年所减少食用的动物数目）= 依现行趋势持续，英国需要67.64年才能全国茹素。
