PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO DUMB ANIMALS
■ (To tho Editor "N.Z. Times.”) Sir, —VVould you permit me to write 4 few lines on the above question in your valuable journal? We often see men up beiore tne Guurt tor woraing a horse with sore shoulders or thrashing a horse to make it go or do what is wanted of it. We never see anyone prosecuted for a law that is broken daily—that is in trucking live stock through the steep tunnels which we have in New Zealand. Now, take the Eimutaka. To truck stock through these tunnels in open trucks. In my opinion, is nothing else but cruelly to dumb animals, and, besides, spoils tho quality, being overheated and steamed with sulphur. Let any human being in mid-summer get in an open truck and go through those tunnels when the train is loaded with sheep. When ho gets to the other side, T think be will agree with me that it is cruelty to dumb animals.— I am, etc., . SYMPATHISER. Featherstou, July 12.
