Poisoned Baits.
DESTRUCTION OF DOGS. A DISTORTED MENTALITY. (By Telegraph—Press Association). DUNEDIN, Oct. 30. The miscreant who is strewing the streets in Tainui and St. Kilda with poisoned baits for the destruction of man's most faithful friend has brought regret to several homes. During the past week or so many dogs have been poisoned in theso two localities, a circumstance which will no doubt be a source of great satisfaction to the distorted mentality of the individual who presumably finds delight in sending a doy to his death in the greatest agony.
