Viva! is a vegetarian/vegan non-profit organization which campaigns to end animal suffering, improve our health, protect the environment and bring fairness to the world’s poor by helping people stop eating animals and animal products.
Every year in Britain, more than 7 billion animals face the barbarity of slaughter - many fully conscious. Most spend their short, brutal lives in confinement, pain and misery.
“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!
“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.
We are determined to end cruelty to animals and to work for a saner, sustainable future. Through our solid research, undercover exposes and professional media skills, we are bringing the reality of modern farming into people’s homes. We have enlightened millions, shocked most and changed the diets of many. We have had many successes. Support Viva! and help us achieve even more.

Even a few hours of your time can make a world of difference. Every single person who decides to ditch meat because of your actions means you are directly helping to save the lives of thousands of animals. How’s that for good karma?!
Come on, let’s turn Britain veggie!

"If you want to make a difference particularly about animal welfare, whether you’re a vegetarian or not then joining Viva! is a great thing to do and obviously Viva! can support you in a load of different ways to help animals and to help yourself."

Gareth
Los Campesinos "Sometimes its hard when you are surrounded by friends who may not share your beliefs on vegetarianism and that’s why joining Viva! is a great thing to do, you become part of a community of people that are all acting to help change the world."

Television:


Fearne Cotton
TV presenter “I have been veggie since the age of 12. I had seen a programme on live animal transportation which made me have the idea initially. Me and my mum started the same day and it's just so easy - Mum cooks amazing veggie food and you wouldn't know the difference between veggie food or meat, my dad hasn't got a clue what he's eating and is practically an involuntary veggie!”
