Civil Abolitionist ends print edition

Bina Robinson, 81, has ended the Civil Abolitionist newsletter, after 15 years, due to falling circulation and rising costs, but remains active by e-mail at civitas@link-ny.com, and still directs the 500-acre Civitas Wildlife Sanctuary at Swain, New York. “Civitas began in the early 1980s as the U.S. branch of CIVIS, Swiss medical historian Hans Ruesch’s international anti-vivisection organization,” explains the Civitas web site, www.linkny.com/~civitas. In 1983 it split into two parallel groups, Citizens for Planetary Health, which continues the original focus, and the Coalition to Protect Animals in Parks and Refuges, whose newsletter Robinson issued as a Civil Abolitionist insert.
