Mistreatment of
German Police Dogs

Boston, Now SAN announced
auction sale Of 30 German police
dogs shipped from Germany on the
steamship Bayerna and unclaimed on
arrival here, will not be held by the
government. When federal officials
claimed the animals today they found
several dead from starvation and
disease and the others so weak they
could scarcely walk. Officers of the
Shepherd Dog Club of New England
announced tonight they would seek
legal action against the shippers and
others responsible for the condition
of the dogs. ~
When the crates in which the dogs
were shipped were opened at an ami
NAL rescue home today two of the
animals were dead. Two others died
shortly afterward. All were covered
with sores and gave every indication
of starvation. Many of the heavy.
planks of which the crates were made
had been gnawed through.
President Adolph Lederhos Of the
Shepherd Dog Club in announcing
that that organization would take
legal steps charged that the owners
of the dogs purposely mistreated
them in order that they might pur-
chase them cheaply at government
auction when freight and duty
charges had been defaulted. Later
the animals would be nursed back to
health and sold as pedigreed police
dogs, he said.
