RABBIT DOGS.
A local body in Taranaki has imposed the same fee for the registration of rabbit dogs as of other canines, because it is contended that, instead of being a;fiictor in the destruction of rabbits, dogs merely scatter the rodents from one property to another. There can be very little doubt'that the value of , dogs' in the eradication- of/the pest,' has : been over-estimated. Moreover, the i exemption of ''rabbit' 5 dogs has been I used as an excuse fcir the breeding ! of a host of useless mongrels which j are a menace to every community, j It would, perhaps, *be a good' thing* if other local bodies were to follow the example set fcy Taranaki.
