Numerous dogs have been poisoned
in Central Point during the past few
days. The fact that the dogs have
been poisoned is not Of great impor-
tance. but the point we wish to bring
out is the cruel. brutal way in which
these little dumb creatures have been
put to death. II the person or per-
sons who are doing this work had
chosen some quick, sure way Of rid
ding the community of these dog
nuisances, some ones pet. 1t would
not have been so bad. but to deliber-
ately give them something that
makes them suffer for days, intense
agony and pain, is log thing indeed.
and II these persons who consider
that they have rendered the public a
great service by their brutal work
could see and hear the bowling agony
of the poisoned dog in pain, we doubt
whether or not they would be proud
of their work. Mercy should be
shown to every living creature, even
If 1t is only a little dog and II dogs
become so numerous and obnoxious
to the public that 1t is necessary to
get rid of them 1t should be done in
the right way and then authorized by
our city authorities.
