Tony Wardle, Associate Director & Editor of Viva!life

Tony has been with Viva! since its launch, helping Juliet with precious few resources – staff or money! His title is associate director and he can turn his hand to most things that Viva! does, and can talk on almost all the subject areas we cover. But his time is consumed mostly with words: writing for and editing our supporters magazine, Viva!life, checking, editing a large output of written material as well as conceiving and writing much of it.

Tony witnessed what life was really like on modern dairy farms when he lived surrounded by them. The catalyst for his veganism was when a cow gave birth in the field outside his house and he watched as she followed with great anxiety her little bull calf as he was carried away to the farmyard – to be shot.
