MEAT FAMINE IN EUROPE.
•FLESH OF POODLES SOLD AS MUTTON, WHILE MASTER THORNY TASTES LIKE VEAL, * Recently a large number of poodle dogs have been missing in Paris. Careful investigations made by the police have resulted in the discovery of several persons who made a fairly profitable business out of capturing the animals, slaughtering them, and selling their flesh to the proprietors of cheap restaurants, who pass it off as mutton.
All efforts of the German people to induce the Minister of Agriculture, Herr von Podbielski, to open the frontiers to foreign cattle being in vain.
In many parts of Germany the hodgehog has almost been exterminated as a consequence of the meat famine. Poor people organize regular hunting expeditions against the animal, the flesh of which is said to be very palatable, tasting like very tender veal.
