ALSATIAN DOGS
PROHIBITION QUESTION Farmers are among the enemies of the Alsatian dog. The Dominion Executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union passed a remit in July asking that the question of Alsatian dogs be reconsidered by the Government with a view to their prohibition. A reply has been received from the Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. C. E. Macni i I la 11. "This will have my consideration," states the Minister, "and will also be borne in mind in the event of the question again becoming the subject of discussion in Parliament. The department cannot but feel concerned at the frequency of attacks by these dogs on human beings, but realises that with so many of the animals already in the country a prohibition of importation would be of little value in remedying this."
