SIR – I was surprised by the letter by Jon Burgess ‘Aggressiveness is not the way forward’ (Worcester News, March 12) claiming some vegans are aggressive and force their doctrine on people.

Most cafes and restaurants in this area seem to welcome vegans as they either have vegan options on their menus or are willing to make vegan food for diners if asked.

They seem happy to encourage vegan trade.

Also VIVA (Vegetarians International voice for animals) is now a charity in its own right, charity registration number 1037 486.
