DUMB ANIMALS
FORMER FEILDING WOMAN’S BEQUEST. EFFORT FOR BETTER TREATMENT OF GOD'S CREATURES. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) SYDNEY, November 26. In the belief that the “rough and cruel treatment of God's creatures had a brutalising effect on the human race,” a former New Zealand woman farmer, Miss Ann Young, of Feilding. has left the bulk of her estate for the benefit of dumb animals. The will setting out her reasons was lodged for probate in Sydney. Her New South Wales estate is £5409 and she also left an estate in New Zealand.
She bequeathed £3OOO to various charities together with a legacy of £lOOO to the Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand “to encourage the protection of New Zealand’s beautiful native bush.” The residue of the estate will be divided between all Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New Zealand. Miss Young disclosed that her brothers and sisters were in good circumstances, but that her own position in life was clue entirely to her personal efforts as a farmer, and the exercise of thrift. “I have been a lover of dumb animals all my life and the rough and cruel treatment to which they are often unnecessarily subjected greatly impressed me.”
