Viva! forged on and persuaded every British supermarket to withdraw kangaroo and all ‘exotic’ meats. We were also credited with closing the UK ostrich industry. So it is with great
sadness but also gargantuan determination that we now campaign to persuade Iceland to withdraw all ‘exotic’ meats, including kangaroo.
See page 18 to help.
There are some excellent features in this issue – and wonderful variety – from Tony’s heartfelt, lucid plea to never take freedom of speech for granted (page 26), to the fascinating intelligence of the humble hen (page 10) to a robust round-up of why we don’t need meat (page 36)!
Finally, many congratulations to Paul Freestone, Isobel Renn and Helen Brand and all the winners of our photo competition (page 24). Helen’s stunning photo of a rescued pig adorns our front cover. Look into his eyes. Wonderful.
Yours for the animals
