CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Sir,—Following on the two previous let. ters which dealt with the protection of animals and punishment for ill-treating them, may 1 add —as a member of the S.P.C.A. —that the society is working directly tor the prevention of cruelty by means of its Junior League, and by encouraging Scouts to interest themselves in their "Friend to Animals" badges. We believe that the greatest results in humane treatment of animals are to be gained through the understanding of animal life, and the inculcation of kindness in the minds of our future citizens. At the same time, we realise the need for immediate reforms in the handling of stock and their treatment generally. The inspectors of the society welcome tho co-operation of all lovers of animals in keeping vigilant watch and we trust that an aroused public opinion will enable Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Societies to hasten the day when it will no longer be necessary for them to "speak for those that cannot speak for themselves." Excelsior.
