WOUNDED BIRDS
Sir,—ln the “General News” of “The Press” of May 30, Mr V. Sparrow is reported as bringing before the notice of the North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society the fate of woutided birds on Lake Ellesmere. I should like to compliment him for his humane interest in the unfortunate birds. There are too many persons with gun and car licences who should not have them. Many shooters fire at birds they cannot get without waders or boat. There is another form of cruelty to animals, practised by some car drivers, who run over creatures on the road at night. It is easy for the most careful drivers to run over rabbits, opossums, etc., as they are dazzled by the lights, but some inhuman persons deliberately chase them, even going off the edge of the road to do it, leaving their wheel marks and victims as proof of their cruelty.—Yours, etc., NAUSEATED. June 3, 1946.
