Bur WHILE the government is attending
to the internal economy Of the packing
houses and endeavoring to clean them up
it might be well to put in a word for the
poor beasts whose ultimate destination is
the noisome packing district Of Chicago
The humane societies all over the country
for years have called attention to the con-
ditions preceding the slaughter OF the ami
mails at Chicago. They have shown time
and again that the cattle are transported
long distances without food or water
burning mad with thirst. thrown down,
legs broken, gored and trampled, all that
a few cents might be saved to the cattle
raisers in their transportation. The sim
pie remedy for all this is to break up the
great central killing houses and have the
cattle slaughtered and inspected where
they are raised. shipping the carcases
where necessary for treatment in the can
ming and packing establishments.
