POISONING OF ANIMALS
There is, apparently, in Whakatane, some otherwise respectable householder —perhaps there is more than one—in whom some queer perversion leads to the sadistic poisoning of animals.
A lot pf us object to the noises and general habits of animals at night and we are angered when they conduct their courtships or fights on our new-season’s seed beds. But it is to be hoped that few of us would chocse some fool’s method of getting rid of the nuisance.
The innocent among animals have suffered from this cruelty. It seems that many inoffensive dogs have died of poisoning.
From £SO Labrador to five-bob mongrel, dogs are going. And the mongrel is of as much importance in some child’s scheme of things as is the Labrador in its owner’s.
It will probably be too bad for some one if he is ever caught.
