S.P.C.A.
LARGER FINES URGED. FOR CASES OF CRUELTY. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Thursday. At the conference of representatives of the S.P.C.A. yesterday, motions were adopted having for their object the careful treatment of cattle when being placed in wagons, also when in transit and when being detrained. An increasing of the fines in eases of vicious cruelty was approved, also that the magistrates should more frequently imprison in flagrant cases. A remit dealing with the abolition of the. coursing of rabbits and hares was adopted. Several other matters that have been discussed .by the various societies for some years pnst also came up for consideration, and tho conference supported the attitude of the socletlos that something should be douo to remedy present existing evils. Tho trend of tho discussions was that legislation could hardly be expected in many Instances to achieve tho results desired by tho societies. The chief objectives could be more easily obtained through cduea-ting tho public on the humane treatment of dumb animals.
