CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —l have often noticed horses, while being driven to and from the paddocks, where they are turned out every evening, tied so close that they have not had sufficient room to move along properly, while the poor animals were nearly choking and hardly able to stand ; and still they were urged on by their brutal driver. Leaving alone the cruelty connected with this mode of leading or driving horses, there is the danger attached to it, for supposing that a child were to be on the road, what power has the man—or more often boy—to stop say six or eight horses tied together with one short piece of rope? None. The child would be run over, and if not killed, dangerously hurted, when of course a cry out would be raised against the practice; and then—but not till then—would this cruel method of transporting horses along our public streets be stopped,—l am &c„ Non-Cruelty.
