“MALIGNANT IDIOTS”
HUNTERS ATTACKED A BARBARIC SURVIVAL STRONG DENUNCIATION By Cable.—rress Association.—Copyright LONDON, Thursday. A strong denunciation of cruelty under the guise of sport w*as made at a monster meeting under the auspices of the League for the Prohibition of Cruel Sports. The Dean of Hereford said he must denounce with wholehearted horror certain aspects of fox-hunting as disgusting and brutalising. The Archdeacon of "Westminster said the morbid desire to destroy life for the sake of sport was an unconscious survival of the savage age. Coursing, deer-hunting and hare-liunt-ing were barbaric. Mr. Bernard Shaw, in a letter w*rote: “There’s dissension in the Royal Family. Prince Henry says that every artist should be a sportsman, and the Prince of Wales promptly countered by refusing to attend a bull-fight.” “Certainly an artist who paints a bird in living colours and stalks the rhinoceros w*ith a movie camera is a better sportsman than Pie malignant idiot w r ho shoots them and gets photographed squatting on the corpse.” The Bishop of Salisbury said that, on the whole, shooting, hunting and fishing did more harm than good.
