Viva! Duck Day, 11 November

On Saturday 11 November, Viva! is running a day of action for ducks. Ducks are possibly Britain’s favourite birds; yet, 19 million of these individuals were killed for meat in the UK last year. According to Viva! 95% of them had prison-like cramped lives. If you buy duck meat from almost any major restaurant or supermarket the animals will not have had any access to water to swim in.
Jake, the little duckling prisoner, the cartoon star of Viva’s campaign represents all the ducks trapped in intensive farms across the country. When you see ducks swimming on the river I hope you will think of Jake and the actual animals he represents, that have not been allowed the opportunity to swim.
We can all play our part in opposing this abuse, by simply not eating duck! If you would like to do more why not check out the Viva! Website to find out what else you can do.
You could even order (or download) some leaflets and give them out to people out side your local supermarket or in your town centre. If you’re to shy why don’t you leaflet door to door.
You can learn more about the campaign at www.viva.org.uk a brilliant site that has information on issues surrounding farm animals in Britain.
