Mr.. Miller Is right In his statement that

Mr.. Hall says he first attempted solo

Action of the Virginia Veterinary
AssOcfation-The y. T., &, A.

The subject OF docking horses tails Ii
one that is receiving much attention from
horsemen and veterinarians throughout
the country. The fact that horseback-rid-
ing is becoming so popular in this To-
cality makes the subject an interesting
one for the people who live here and
own riding horses. and as IL seems to be
a fashionable fad TO have the horses tails
cut off, some interesting cascs may arise
that will give the Society FOR the Pre-
vention OF Cruelty to Animals an oppor-
tunity 10 manifest It's influence in this
matter.
At the meeting OF the Virginia Veteri-
nary Medical Association. held IN Char
lottesvlle few weeks ago, the matter cf
docking was discussed at great length
by the veterinarians, and resolutions were
passed condemning the brutal practice.
The following is taken from the official
report OF the meeting:
Under the head OF new business, DR..
Harbaugh, president Of the association.
called attention to the following resOlu-
tions which were adopted by the United
States Veterinary Medical Association at
its last meeting:
Whereas we, the United States Vete-
rinary Medical Association, do condemn
the operation OF docking horses tails as
an operation Of fashion. believing that
nature intended them as 4 defence against
Insects. but. so long as Il Is demanded
as an operation OF fashion. We believe
that II should be performed by skilled
veterinarians, who are sure 10 perform
IL with greater care and less pain and
suffering TO the animal, and we cannot
unqualinedly condemn those wh) perform
the operation under such conditions.
"Dr. Harbaugh could not see the con-
sistency OF the resolutions. In enc part
condemning the operation and In the next
condoning the operator.
"Dr. Giichrist introduced the following
resolutions, which were adopted:
Whereas, the horses tail Is intended
by nature as defence against pcsti-
ferrous insects, the Virginia State Yeteri-
nary Medical Association un1lainedly
condemns the practice Of docking tsIs
for mere fashions sake. ihere are rare
instances when IL Is necessary 10 hpIPo-
tate a portion OF the tail on account ci
disease or injury. as II Is often necessary
to amputate an arm or les OF human
being. but the indiscrminate habit OK
docking tails serves no ise'u' piLoss
