one market which makes 1t a special

beef, veal, mutton or pork. Neither
is 1t unusual to find advertisements of
dog meat or for the purchase of dogs

Nor is 1t possible to read the Ger
man newspapers for any length OF
time without coming to the conclu-
sion that great many dogs are killed
and eaten that do not give up their
lives under official inspection. News
items detailing the arrest, trial, con
viction and punishment by fine or i'm.
prisonment of men charged with Kill
ing and eating dogs that belonged to
cherished household pets, are not In

| told how the police at Cassel, city
OF Hesse- Nassau. while searching foi
a lost dog. for whose recovery re
ward was offered, located private dos
slaughter house and arrested four mer
who were apparently making a regu
lar business of stealing and killing
dogs. Several live, dogs, several fresh
ly slaughtered carcasses and evidences
of the slaughter of dozens of Other
dogs were found on the premises.
