Allegations- that opossum trappers were adopting cruel methods of killing trapped opossums were made at a meeting to-ni<rht of the committee of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Miss M. Paul said that since trappers had been forbidden by the Acclimatisation Society to dispose of animals by j shooting they had been spearing them. | It was a cruel method. "Opossums should bo stunned and then stuck and bled," said Mr. J. H. Howell, "but the trouble is that trappers are not taking the time to do this." The committee decided to communicate with the Acclimatisation Society on the question. ,
