Cruelty to Dogs
Sir,—N. Smith's letter (February 2), expressing concern about cruelty to racehorses, is a further illustration • that people feel various groups or individuals are caring about only one aspect or species. Isn’t lack of proportional representation letting everyone down, and leading to apathy and dissipation of effort? Regardless of which government is in power, it is just possible that a high percentage of the voting population (up to 60 per cent this election) could. be wishing for unproposed laws. Coming about slowly, worldwide, is “Man’s contact with the Universal Mind,” leading to areas of unity, and love and consideration for all life, interdependent as it is. A law against inflicting cruelty on animals would be a brave and innovative step for New Zealand, would lighten the mood of oppression and exploitation, and would be the first giant step (and example to the world) in relieving cruelty and victimisation towards humans. — Yours, etc., N. W. MILANOVICH. February 3, 1982.
