BE KIND TO ANIMALS

This is "Be Kind to Animals Week,
nationally observed throughout the ma
tion and calling the attention of citizens
to the desirability of kindness toward
dumb animals.
While the idea includes all animals,
wild or domestic, it is generally applic-
able to the latter class.
Ownership of animals places upon the
owner responsibility for their we'll
being. 1t is essential that they be pro-
vided with proper quarters, food and
water and medical attention when need
ed. Unable to help themselves in the
great majority of instances, they must
depend upon man whom they serve, to
care for their wants.
Kindness toward dumb animals is
also required from those who are not
animal owners. They should not abuse
animals themselves nor tolerate abuse
by others without entering a protest
and if need be invoking the law which
guarantees protection to animals the
same as to humans.
Generally speaking domestic animals
in the cattle class, are we'll cared for,
as is natural since they represent an in
vestment by their owners. On the other
hand, dogs and cats, and other pets
frequently representing no investment,
are quite often neglected or abused.
1t it not out of place in plea for
kindness to dumb animals to remind
owners of such that they also have
responsibility toward their neighbors
Dogs which are permitted to roam at
large, often destroying property or max
ing the night hideous with their bowls
and banks, and cats that Guido the dogs
in nocturnal disturbances, are common
nuisances and as such inspire acts of
violence against them.
The non-animal owner can hardly be
censured for taking action against the
disturbers of his peace and quiet, or
his property, and if the animal owner
refuses to keep his pets within bounds
he must expect retaliation from those
whom they disturb. 1t is unfortunate
that the retaliation is directed toward
the animals instead Of toward their own
erS.
If all animal owners would recognize
their double responsibility - care for
their animals and regard for the rights
of their neighbors-there would be less
need for BE Kind to Animals Week."
and those sponsoring the movement
would have unanimous support in their
efforts to protect the animals.
However, the fact that some owners
forget their responsibilities, does not
justify abuse of the animals. We must
be kind to them and protect them
Bad films are blamed by producers
