ALIVE Newsletter No.100 Topic

ALIVE and AVA-net Merge

ALIVE (All Life in a Viable Environment) was established in 1996 to address overall issues affecting animals. In June of the same year, the 1st ALIVE newsletter was issued in order to keep the public informed on the issues and to provide accurate information concerning the environment and animals.

In 2010, ALIVE gained NPO status, and this year we are celebrating our 15th anniversary. Also, this month sees the publication of the 100s issue of the ALIVE newsletter. Since its establishment, ALIVE has worked with its sister organization AVA-net, which is dedicated to addressing issues related to vivisection and animal experimentation. AVA-net celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. The latest AVA-net newsletter is No. 150, which is a good round number to close with. So we have decided to merge AVA-net and ALIVE during this pivotal year.
Over the years, ALIVE and AVA-net have dealt with countless animal issues, and both organizations have achieved many good results, which has led to widespread public recognition of our organizations and our achievements.
ALIVE would like to sincerely thank everyone who has participated in and supported our activities up to now. We remain committed to making tireless efforts toward improving the status of animals and dealing with animal-related issues including animal experimentation. Lastly, we extend our appreciation to all our supporters and we look forward to receiving your further support in future.
