ALSATIAN DOGS.
QUESTION OF CONTROL
FARMERS' REPRESENTATIONS,
MINISTER IN REPLY.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day
With a view to prohibiting the importation of Alsatian dogs to the Dominion the executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union at its last meeting urged that the question of more effective control over this breed of animal should be reconsidered. The Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Macmillan, lias now replied promising consideration of the union's view. He oaid that in the event of the question again coming before Parliament this would be borne in mind. The Department, the Minister added, could not but feel concerned at the frequency of attacks by these dogs on human beings but realised that with so many of them already in the country the prohibition of importation would be of little value in providing a remedy.
