KIM BARTLETT

 

ANIMAL PEOPLE publisher Kim Bartlett (left) is a veteran of 35 years in humane work and vegetarian advocacy, with emphasis on humane education and communications. She earned humanitarian service awards from various humane organizations in Texas for animal rights efforts in the 1970s and '80s. In 1986, Kim left Texas to become editor of The Animals' Agenda magazine, a position she held until 1992, when she and Merritt Clifton began ANIMAL PEOPLE. Kim's interest in international affairs has brought ANIMAL PEOPLE into the forefront of humane outreach to the developing world.

MERRITT CLIFTON

 

ANIMAL PEOPLE editor Merritt Clifton (right), a second-generation lifelong vegetarian, has teamed with Kim Bartlett to provide information service to the humane community since 1986. His duties for ANIMAL PEOPLE include researching and writing more than 200 articles and filling more than 2,000 information requests per year. A reporter, editor, columnist, and foreign correspondent since 1968, specializing in animal and habitat-related coverage since 1978, Clifton was a founding member of the Society of Environmental Journalists, and is a four-time winner of national awards for investigative reporting. [The baby cheetah wasn't picked up: she leaped up, uninvited, during a visit to the Kenya Wildlife Service animal orphanage in Nairobi, and made herself at home.]

WOLF CLIFTON

ANIMAL PEOPLE artist Wolf Clifton (left), a third-generation lifelong vegetarian, typically introduces himself by mentioning his 19 cats, three dogs, and two burros, all of them rescue cases. Growing up in the ANIMAL PEOPLE newsroom, Wolf joins his parents Kim Bartlett and Merritt Clifton on global expeditions to investigate animal issues.

 

 

Wolf has had former bile farm bears lick jam off his hands in China, once traveled for two days by motorized canoe up Amazon tributaries, had a Hanuman languor snatch a floral garland off his neck in Jaipur, India, and has had many other adventures in places as diverse as Bulgaria, Kenya, India, Costa Rica, New York City, and Yellowstone National Park.

Now 16, Wolf has drawn for ANIMAL PEOPLE since 1996.
