A PLEA FOR THE BIRDS.
TO THE EDITOB OF_THE SOUTHIiAITD TMES. Sill, — I perceive that a correspondent . under the signature of " Avis," has called attention to the impropriety and cruelty of Bhootirig ka-kasand pigeons during tJie breeding season., ' I, cordially endorse every statement made by your correspondent, but afrthc same time I must inform you that I saw ka-kas hawked about for sale in Invereavgill. This ought to be put a stop to whilst these birds have young ; and if the^public would only refuse to buy, depend upon it those who shoot the birds woidd r ccaso to do so during tlie spring and summer months.— l am, &c.j - • - HUMANITY. 29th Dec:, .18G4 . . . -
