Description

Issue Five of LAIKA Magazine is an uplifting exploration of the strength embodied in the vegan movement — athletic, as well as strength of character, resolve and determination. This, the “Strength Issue,” reports on the bold activism, innovative creativity, and fearless drive of veganism. Gracing the cover is David Carter — The 300 Pound Vegan — a defensive lineman in the NFL, who is using his stature and strength to stand up for animals. Together with co-cover star and wife Paige Carter, they make a formidable team that encapsulate the spirit of today’s animal advocacy. In a LAIKA first, the cover is shot as a self-portrait by Paige in Costa Rica.

Gorgeous original photography and captivating narrative come together in such stories as:

• The Defenders: a candid look at life on board Sea Shepherd’s the Bob Barker vessel during its record-breaking Operation Icefish in Antarctica, as told by members of the crew.
