AS a result of deliberate work on the
part of someone about dozen dogs are
dead from poisoning, several of that
number being valuable bird dogs.
The COURIER admits that lot of
dogs have been annoying of late, but
we don't believe that poisoning is the
proper way to remedy the matter. If
there are any dogs around town that
are a nuisance the proper thing to do
is to shoot those dogs outright not
scatter poisoned meat all over the
the town and destroying valuable
dogs Unfortunately. Several pounds
of meat covered with strychnine have
been picked up around town. This
we say is dead wrong and an injustice
to those who have bought and raised
valuable hunting dogs. If the poisoner
would think this matter over he could
not help butsee it in this light. If the
dog assassin is found out he should be
prosecuted as severely as the law will
allow.
