Cancerous Cattle
ifHU UNiTKD PKESB ASSOCIATION.! i Wellington, December 4
The case of cancerous cattle having been exposed^for sale- in a y^ri,near In* vercargdl, has Been engaging the attention of the Government for the past few days. It is now seen that the Diseased, Cattle Act is too far-reaching, and that if cancer is addad to the list of diseases, and the Act put into force, it would Jiave the effect of quarantining the'" whole district, which would be a matter of great inconvenience and loss to ths community at largf*. The Government have no wisL to pursue this course, and are now considering an amendment to the Cattle Act, by which an Inspector would have power' to deal with diseased cattle for sale. It i? admitted that the present Act is not only drastic but very cumbersome^ and all ' action under it has to be taken through the local Cattle' Boards. To all appearances amendments of the Cattle Act and of the 1 Public Health Act are desirable — the one to deal with cattle and the other with unwholesome meat offered for sale.
