The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-05-29


Blanketed and Tagged Last Year.
The eleventh annual report of the St.
Paul Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty shows the organization to be in
healthy condition, with increasing
membership and interest. In an inter-
view yesterday, Rufus A. Hoyt, agent
of the body, said:
Interest in our humane work has
gained three-fold. The society touches
every relation Of human and animal
life. We fight against the docking Of
horses tails, against the checking of
horses, and we want shelter for stray
horses. We want no fish or game taken
except in season. We want our women
to take solemn oath not to wear song
birds or their plumage on their hats.
Among the things we want this year
are drinking fountains for dogs. If
the. dog can't pay his tax and has to
be killed, we want it done humanely.
In fact, we want every living thing
treated kindly, and we are going to see
that it is done"
