The action of the president of the Vermont
Humane Society in causing the arrest of
Lincoln man for deholning his cattle is
likely to result in a legal decision, as to
whether this proctics which has been grow
ing in favor among Vermont farmers dur
ing the past few years is an act of cru city
to animals. The Lincoln man announ ces
that he will carry the case to the courts.
The matter is being tested in the courts of
New York State. A jury in Duchess
county justices court has decided
that dehorning cattle is not
cruelty to animals. y The jury was COM
posed chiefly of farmers, who ore of course
as much interested as anyone but who are
not necessarily any the more competent to
judge whether the operation is cruel than
are representatives of some other class of
people. The compliments in the Duchess
county case were the society for the proven
tion of cruelty to animals and the Court of
Appeals is to be called on to finally decide
the matter, II seems to be generally adj
mitted that the operation of dehorping
is painful for the time being and
the real question is, whether the pain
so inflicted is less than the suffering often
times caused in the pasture and barnyard
by cattle hooking one another. Among
Vermont farmers the practice of killing the
horns when they first appear on the young
calf is common. This would surely seem
to be the most humane method of disposing
of these superfuous APPENDICES.
