Dogs and Cats.
The harmful effect upon native bird life of cats left at Public Works camps was mentioned by Mr H. Strang at a meeting of the Southland Acclimatisation Society. The society had complained to the Commissioner of Crown Lands (Mr T. Cagney), about the presence of dogs and cats in the public works camp at Milford Sound, to which Mr Cagney replied that the matter of dealing with dogs and cats found in the national park area was receiving the department's close attention, and it was now fortified by the assistance of special legislation passed at the last parliamentary session for the control and protection of such a valuable area.
