Docking the tails of horses to make
them look smarter is about on par
with putting out the eyes Of birds to
make them sing better. 1t undoubt.
eddy requires degenerate nature to
perform or in any way approve Of
either act. The faded delivery horse
with its tail cut off and the blinded
bird that sings away its darkened life
are fit monuments to the false die
tates of fashion.
Checking back the heads Of horses
to an unnatural angle and slaughter
ing harmless birds for the purpose OF
decorating feminine headgear are de-
PRAYED practices which come very
close to being in the same category
Of criminal inclinations.
