ANIMALS’ HOME
Sir, —From Mr R. D. Martin’s statement given to your reporter, printed on July 26, the public should be able to draw Its own conclusions as to whether the Animal Protection Society’s home at Woolston was closed on June 25. With regard to the remark that the public are not concerned at all, it is true that the public do not care who does the work, as long as the work is done. I must admit that I do not understand what Mr Martin means by only one individual being concerned. ],t seems to me that the sentence admits of more than one interpretation. So concerned, however, are some of the public that Miss O. Barr, an honorary ranger for the Christchurch City Council, should continue her work among the lost and homeless animals, and that her policy should be supported, that an organisation was formed on July 21 to that end.—Yours, etc., BEATRICE BARR. July 28, 1947. [Mr R. D. Martin, president of the Animals’ Protection Society, stated: “The uncompromising attitudq of the correspondent and her hostility to myself, the committee, and the custodian, are so well known that I have n<r intention of answering questions or letters from her.”]
