[Although published in its primary form on the Internet, The Monachus Guardian is now also being made available as a hardcopy publication. With the generous financial support of the Humane Society of Canada (HSC), each volume will incorporate the publishing year’s May and December issues. While most readers will prefer to access The Monachus Guardian via the Internet (not least because of the unavoidable delays associated with traditional ink and paper publishing) this additional hardcopy version is intended to fill important gaps in our readership, and will be distributed to libraries, decision makers, and readers unable to access the journal by electronic means.]
