The Cruelty to Animals Act provides ’hat dogs must be allowed off the chain at least four hours in every 24. and the society is going to see, that the. dogs get the time off. ‘‘Every week, we receive shoals «>f • letters relating 10 this form nf cruelty to many dogs, and our inspectors are to be particularly busy in attending io these rases.” said the secretary of the society, Mr. Lord, yesterday, Must Have Exercise. ‘‘We understand there are many savage dogs which should not be at large, but they become more savage through the chaining.
