" Why would you choose cruelty when you don’t have to...I don’t care what society says, I’m not participating in that."

The first part of a short series of podcasts with award-winning author and animal rights campaigner Linda Newbery talking about her recently published guide to compassionate living, ‘This Book is Cruelty-free – Animals and Us’. Written for everyone who cares ‘about our planet, our animals, and about living a better life’, This Book is Cruelty-free says in its introduction, “the decisions we make every day of our lives – what we buy, eat, use and discard – have an impact on the environment and animal life. We can choose to support cruelty and waste, or we can choose kindness and responsibility.”

In this podcast Charlie Moores talks with Linda about her motivation to write This Book is Cruelty-free, setting the scene for forthcoming episodes based on chapters from the book: Spend Kindly, What’s On Your Plate, What a Waste, Animals at Home, Protect and Protest.


NB: Off the Leash contacted Linda after buying and enjoying This Book is Cruelty-Free. We paid for it ourselves, no payments have been asked for or received for this series of podcasts, and  Off the Leash has no financial interest in the book or anything connected with it.
