Cruelty 10 Animals.
Louisville Courie-JouTuaL

From the Louisville Courie--JouTusl-
Special Judge Kriger decided IN the Pc
lice Court ttat charge Of cruelty to
animals lodged against a man who is al
legged to have poured oil upon rats and
roasted them alive cannot be sustained
because rats are not property II it be
true that the laws now upon the statute
books do not protect animals from cruel
ty save when the animal IS property.
there Is an urgent need OF their amend
ment The purpose Of legislation fixing
penalties for cruelty to animals Is not
primarily 10 protect property from depre-
ciation. but TO protect dumb creatures
from inhuman brutality.
A rat IS not property; neither IS stray
dog or an outcast cat II the law cannot
reach a man who tOrtures rats. then il
cannot touch man who practices cruel
y upon dogs or cats not owned or
claimed As property The major purpose
of the legislation in force and Of the vari-
Gus societies for the prevention Of cruelty
must be defeated II il is possible for any
one who finds sport in torture to indulge
his british taste whenever he can fnd 4
victim upon which he can infiict pain
without touching 2 property value.
