A SUGGESTION FOR ANIMAL WEEK.
TO TUB EDITOR OT THE TBSSS. Sir,—The Jack London Club, numbering now about two hundred thousand members, all of whom pledge themselves to leave any entertainment which includes a trained-animal performance, is a step in tho right direction, and Ave might do worse perhaps during Animal Welfare Week than take that pledge ourselves. The London "Times" says: "AVe believe that cruelty lies behind nearly all the public performances of domestic and wild animalscruelty so great that it is doubtful if most of them should be tolerated." To anyone sufficiently interested in this matter I would advise the reading of .Tack London's book, "Jerry," which he wrote after thoroughly investigating these animal performances, and it is a terrible record of cruelty and dumb suffering; against which jack London, who was no weak "Cissy," raised his voice to Heaven.—Yours, etc., H.T.W. October 29th, 1027.
