BOUNDARY DOGS
INVESTIGATION MADE NO EVIDENCE OF CRUELTY [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, Oct. 13. Complaints were recently investigated by the Government of the doubtful consideration shown toward dogs chained to kennels on boundary lines at bridge points of some Dominion stations to hold sheep within particular areas. The Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry), in a statement issued to-day, said that he had been concerned with complaints in that it was alleged that boundary clogs were being placed on some stations with little shelter, water and food. Investigation had shown that it those were the conditions of the dogs in past years they did not now exist. Further inquiries were being made to secure the co-eperation of sheepowners in stopping the practice altogether.
