319- VIVA remove "gas chambers" advert

After receiving a compaint, VIVA have removed posters from London buses with a picture of a pig and the phrase: "Next stop: The Gas Chamber". Was this justified? Did they know this would happen all along? Are there better ways to advocate for pigs? Much to discuss. As well as this story, Svenne, Mark & Shane will be discussing several others bits of news that have surfaced in the vegan & animal rights space in the last 7 days.
