CRUELTY TO Ax1MALs-A correspondent
Iva woman, and a very unsophistcated one in city
poiticswants to know, "Whst horrible thing calves
have done that they should be tortured through
streets every hour of the day Is it not enough that
their necks should be made TO feel the knife of the
butcher without their being piled upon another in
cart al olted through the streets, and some of them
allowed 10 rub their heads against the wheel until the
skull s laid bare the scorchDg rays of the sun Is
there no law to protect poor dumb, helpless animal
from the hesrtess cruelty of beasts who pass current
for menl" To the last question we answer, No, not
while those "beasts' have votes, and make and I'M
make those who make laws. The butcher interest is
90 strong in this city that executive officer dare TO
enforce the hws against cruelty to animals In this
city not only the cruelty permitted of cartng calves,
tied neck and heels, the pavements for several
mies but calves permitted to be sold, killed, and
eaten before they three days old. The butcher In
erest is go strong in this city that the police dare not
interfere TO prevent the driving of hundreds Of beef
cattle from the raway-cars to the ssughter-houses
where their blood flows through the cutters Of crowded
streets Until we have wel-organized society, like
that of London to prevent cruelty to animals, We can
not hope for reform. The Superintendent and the
Commissioners of Police all afraid here to interfere
with butcher. Mayor, Magistrates, and Common
Council all stand in awe of the butcher interest.
While this interest 80 protected cannot promise
cur correspondent any immediate relief from the sad
hight she is compelled to witness daily.
Constant dropping the hardest stone, and con-
slant censure cuts into the caous conscience.
