1. Viva!USA's new fish leaflet now available
The newest member of Viva!USA's family of literature is now available! Our new fish leaflet explains why fish deserve compassion, too. Over fishing has caused fish populations to decline rapidly, and is having an impact on the ecology of our oceans. Meanwhile, there are no laws governing fish slaughter, leaving these animals to suffocate slowly, or die while being gutted alive. Because fish are so different from us, many people forget that they suffer and feel pain like other animals. You can help remind people that fishing is not a just or humane alternative to eating other kinds of meat.

Check it out: http://www.vivausa.org/activistresources/leaflets/index.html

To order our new leaflet, email orders@vivausa.org. Don't forget to include the type and quantity of leaflet you'd like, and to provide a mailing address for your order.
