CRUELTY TO DUMB ANIMALS.
• i “There is a great and crying need ior reform in the treatment of the dumlb animals,” writes a correspondent to the “Dominion.” “What of the half-starved sheep-dogs,, some of them lucky 'to get two meals in .about a week? What of the treatment of the lambs, driven miles along the stony roads, put into a paddock without any grass in it, and no water, sometimes it being three days before they finally reach the freezing works. W|hat of the stock kept in trucks, huddled together in the blazing sun for hours, often all through the night, as anyone e'an see who happens to be at Palmerston North railway station when the late stock train comes in? A policeman at Palmerston North railway station told me it made hiim sick, during the time of the “bobby calf”- traffilc, to see the cruelty to •these little helpless things.”
