Cruelty Free Living
Issue 1: May-June 1998

Welcome

Hello and welcome to this the first of a new idea to bring together the various groups and individuals concerned with animal rights, human rights and environmental issues that come under the banner of cruelty free living. Many of us have a specific interest so are members of a group but find it useful to find out what other groups are involved in and to keep abreast of the issues.

Those of us who produce the Cruelty free Guide to Edinburgh, now in it’s third edition, have been and are in various groups each dealing with a variety of issues. As a group our aim is to provide information about living without cruelty in Edinburgh. The guide is proving successful and we believe the next step is to produce a regular newsletter that informs us all what everyone else is doing!

Such a newsletter could be a vehicle for local groups to advertise themselves (meetings, events etc) through submitting articles and diary dates. This is a pilot/tester/sample of what is possible but be assured the information contained is real. It is a mixture of stuff we know from the guide (regular meetings, aims etc), things we have been sent and information gleaned from other groups. Hopefully you and your group will find it informative and will support this venture by providing information.

See later for what happens next but in the meantime enjoy the read!

Thanks
