POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS

On “Cruelty to Animals,” “Fair Play” writes: “Perhaps if you were disposed to give a little more space to the letters on the above subject, instead of cutting them down as much as possible, the chances of this correspondence serving its purpose would be a little better.

On the same subject, “How Prevent Cruelty” writes: “The reason the boy gave when asked by the girl why he threatened destruction of the pup was that it was a female. When seeing the corpse of the . . . pup it struck me forcibly that had there been a known place to take the dog when it was born to ask advice, find a promise of a home, or destruction, the incident would probably never have occurred.” “How much longer are we to wait for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to take action against the cad who so cruelly treated the collie pup?” asks “Dumb Devotion.” “Out of fairness to all other secondary schoolboys, I suggest his name and photograph should be published. I also think he should be expelled from his school. . . .”
