ALSATIAN DOGS
PROHIBITION URGED. FARMERS’ UNION. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, 12. With a view to prohibiting the importation of Alsatian dogs, the Dominion Executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union at the last meeting urged that the question of more effective control over this breed of animal should be reconsidered, as the Minister of Agriculture had now replied promising consideration of the union’s view. He had said that in the event of the question again .coming before Parliament this would be borne in mind by the department. The Minister had added that he could riot but feel concerned at the frequency of attacks by these dogs on human beings, but he realized that with so many of them already in the country the prohibition of importation would be of little value in remedying this.
