CRUELTY OF THouoHTLEssNEss
Man Abuses Dumb Animals Because
HE Does Not Think


Man Abuses Dumb Animals Because
HE Does Not Think
A writer in recent issue Of the
Farm Journal makes an eloquent plea
for a more human treatment OF farm
stock. the cattle. sheep and swine
that make lit possible for so many
thousands OF people In this country
to live in comfort and even compare
tive luxury. The writer takes the
ground that many of the abuses that
have existed in the agricultural sect
ions for years are due not to any in
herent cruelty in human beings but
to more tholghtlessness.
There is no reason why a steer hog,
calf or sheep should be slaughtered
for meat before being made uncon-
scious The suffering of an animal
dying from cut thoat must be intense
and Il may easily be avoided by shoot
ing the victim through the brain or
stunning II with a sedge.
EVERYWHERE men and women are
awakening says the writer, TO the
righteousness OF kindness to every
every living Creature. and are teaching
children that loving one another is the
best Of doctrine, but that true Christ
ianity must extend this love to every
animate thing"
Much OF the cruelty on the farm
the writer continues, comes OF ig-
norance, indifference or mere habit.
Men simply do not think, or appreciate
that they are cruel when they do as
their forebears have done at killing
time. But these are times of educa-
ton and Improvement all along the
line and unwilling cruelty is giving
place to intelligent kindness. we nave
cen put in authority over the dunh
beasts by the Creator OF all, and He
wishes us to be good TO them, They
look no higher than to us, and we are
responsible if we see mot and hear not
or Tail to understand"
