SNARING BIRDS
BIRD-LIME USED, For some time past complaints have been received from various sources that cruelty is being practised by school boys who snare birds by means of bird-lime 'in the city reserves. The local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals took the matter in hnnd. and advises that there is a by-law which reads:—“No ->evson shall by any means whatsoever destroy, shoot, snare, injure, or take, or attempt so to do, uny h-'rd, or bird's nests or bird's eggs, in Or from any portion of anv park, reserve nr ground as afnresnid without the consent of the council." It is hoped that the strict carrying oiit of the by-law will hnre the effect of dome a’v.iv with this objectionable practice. ,
