The “Meal of Justice” performance had a big impact on the citizens of Sarajevo
“You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.” Mahatma Gandhi
Last Saturday, May 28, 2022, VivaBiH marked World Hunger Day with its action “Meal of Justice”.
We did this performance with our activist group with the desire to attract the attention of the citizens of Sarajevo and encourage them to think about the connection between veganism and world hunger.
The Performance “In the name of invisible victims” and taking other’s blindfolds off
On Saturday, July 23, 2022, VivaBiH once again went out in public with its activist group and the performance “In the Name of invisible victims” used the opportunity to show the unnecessary cruelty towards animals.
Our performance carries that name because it perfectly shows the truth of people turning a blind eye to the suffering and pain of non-human animals and the message we want to send.
Unfortunately, most people are not aware of the fact that about 70 billion land animals are killed annually in animal industries. If we add marine animals, which are measured in tons, those numbers are even higher. These are devastating facts, but many choose to remain ignorant and blind to these facts rather than face the truth.
Vigil in Novi Sad – VivaBiH supported the Animal Save Movement
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” – Desmond Tutu.
Have you ever seen animals on a slaughter truck? You can look away or you can take a stand against killing. Screams, sketches, trucks full of feces, unbearable smells and other horror scenes are experienced by animal rights activists during actions called “Vigils” in which they greet trucks with animals and witness their treatment. The fear of these tortured creatures in the trucks cuts through the air! One such action in Novi Sad, organized by the Animal Save Movement group, was joined by members of our organization.
“Iftar in the spirit of empathy” was a success!
“Iftar in the spirit of empathy” was a success!
On Saturday, April 23 rd 2022, we organized our event “Iftar in the spirit of empathy”.
The month of Ramadan is a special opportunity to do good and let go of bad habits and create new, more useful and healthier ones. This month encourages us to be better people towards ourselves and others and invites us to do good.
The “SAVE THE SEA” campaign opened up another ecology perspective
Our organization did an educational campaign in March called “Let’s Save the Sea”.
The goal of the campaign was to show the citizens what the future holds for us regarding the seas and our drinking water if we continue to consume animals!
Without understanding the problem, we will not be able to protect water and its surfaces. It is, therefore, necessary to raise public awareness and tackle this global problem.
The truth on the streets of Sarajevo
Do you have blood on your hands?
Do you know who are the victims of your food choices?
On Saturday 19.3.2022. in front of “Vječna vatra” (The Eternal fire) VivaBiH and their activism group dressed in uniforms covered in fake blood sent a powerful message about the unnecessary suffering of animals to the people passing by.
This interesting and, to some, shocking performance had the goal to remind people that eating animals is a choice, a choice that we should reconsider and think about who had to pay with their lives for our meal.
Our program VegOdluka’22 has successfully come to an end
As you already may know, for the second year in a row, we’ve been running our program VegOdluka.
With most people coming up with their new year’s resolutions, a lot of people also start with veganism in January and we wanted to promote veganism among the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Review of reactions to our billboard campaign “Anonymous Mother” and Eid al-Adha
We must admit that we thought for a long time about whether we should comment on the misinformation circling the Internet these days regarding our campaign, “Anonymous Mothers” which included billboards, whose goal was to raise awareness that animal abuse is standard in our society.
