ANNUAL REPORT OF THE KENosHA BRANCH
OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY.
The Kenosha County Branch of the
Wisconsin Humane Society was organ
lied in 1905 and has experienced nine
years of active service. Like all or
CARNATIONS which are thought to in
terfere with personal liberties, the So
ciety has had its ups and downs. Dur

needing special attention have been re-

Some obstinate ones have required con-

| be brought into court due to the fact
that few people still believe that it is
entirely their own business what they
do with their own family and stock.
In such cases, prompt cooperation
from the Office of District Attorney has
| been effective.

my usual custom of giving in addition
to general summary of the number
and nature of cases a more detailed
