this world that we ought to do every
thing we can to lessen, and not TO In.
crease It.
S. 1t is cowardly and contemplate
to cause a living. sentient creature un.
necessary or avoidable suffering.
s. The animals do so much for us
in so many ways. ministering to our
needs. that they earn exemption tor
their various races from cruelty. sur'
fering and III treatment.
Z. Selfish and caIlous disregard Of
their rights can only react disastrous

man family, and make other similar
evils appear excusabIo. Il ts a short
step from cruelty TO animals to cru
