NO MERCY FOR ANIMALS
WHAT MAKING A ZOO COSTS “A BLOT ON BRITAIN” AMERICAN METHODS DEPLORED LONDON, May 31. Sir Francis Newton, of Rhodesia, speaking at the Shikkar Club banquet, said that for every baby animal delivered to Europe to fill zoological societies’ contracts, at least 100 mothers, during the breeding season, were mercilessly hounded over the veldt, mutilated and killed. It was the worst blot on British science and sport. Lord Lonsdale, chairman, promised to intervene. He stigmatised the American method of motoring at night time after animals who were bewildered and crippled in their mad rush from blinding headlights before they were shot, as the most unfair and cruel pursuit conceivable.
