CAPTIVE BIRDS
SHOOTING PROHIBITION"
. For the fifth occasion the Legislative Council yesterday passed the Hon. G M. Thomson's Captive Birds Shooting Prohibition Bill. In former sessions it has never reached the stage of consideration by the House of Representatives.
Moving the second reading,- lf r . Thomson said the Bill was a copy, of one passed in 1914 in England, but differed m the penalties proposed. A sport by which live birds were shot from traps was not worthy of the name of sport. The proposal in the Bill had also been enacted in U.S.A. and in France, and he thought New Zealand would be doing the right thing by passing it. It was only humanitarian legislation.
