THE DESTRUCTOR.
10 SEX IDITOX OF TEX PUBS. Sir,—Doubtless, many of your readers will have seen with horrified* surprise the paragraph in your issue of the 24th inst., in whicn it is stated* by an official "that it is a fairly common occurrence to find live cats and dogs among the materials forwarded for destruction. The animals were generally enclosed in a bag and drew attention to their presence by whining and howling." This would seem almost incredible were it not vouched for by an official and that it is said to be not uncommon, surely shows that it is a matter calling for attention. If the owners were traced they would certainly be liable to prosecution under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and if a notice calling attention to this were issued, it might possibly London and in many, other large towns the S.P.C.C.A. let it be known that their men will call for unwanted aniof courso very desirable i should be put to death,, in a proper manner. Tr there is a branch of the society here would it not take the matter up.—Yours, etc., SCOTLAND. Jwma»7 28tk.
