Storm of Protest Over Vivisection Cruelty
Grows; Ban on Brutal Practice Demanded

Wv y, DoAA
dents at Oroville Union High
School who are OF the same
opinion as / am.
One of them suggested we
take a vote on how many of US
want this bill to pass in Con-
gresS. and then write, President
Roosevelt and send him the
number of votes, but l told
them l would write you first
and see if you had any sugges-
tlons 10 make.
You might think us foolish,
hut l thought would try any
way.
Thank you very much.
LOIS j. BARTHOLIC.
p. ST also wondered if you
had any additional information
that you could send me.
l would like 10 put II up on
the bulletin board at the high
school so the other students
may also be able 10 see how
they treat some of our So
called dumb" friends.
l think if l had the money
and was out of high school, |
would like 10 see what l could
do by preaching to the citizens
what cruelty is being done to
our best friends. l.. j. q.

DEAR MR.. NOISE:
7 WANT to thank you for the
L article in The American
Weekly, Oct. 90, on the vivi-
section of dogs. l did not know
before that such practice went
on in this land
OF all the INHUMAN. HOR-
RIBLE PRACTICES that is one
of the worst. If l had not
known, l would of thought that
magazine came from Japan
and we call ourselves CIVIL
LIED AND CHRISTIAN.
l have written Mr.. Kerwan.
congressman from Ohio, and
also Kate Smith asking their
help.
If there is anything can do.
please let me know and thank
you again for your article.

DEAR SIR:
7 HAVE just read your article,
l. Torture, the Reward Of
Mans Best Friend.
To be truthful l have never
heard of vivisection of dogs. 1t
is depressing 10 think that sci
entiStS. men who are supposed
to relieve pain and preserve
things, could be so thoughtleSS.
I'm a war worker in this city
and l will not say vivisection
does or does not occur here.
But if it does. please inform me
and with a few friends l will see
what can be done here.
In your article you seem TO
appeal TO dog-loverS alone. Why
don't you tell the people about
the usefulness of this animal?
Remind people of the seeing
eve dogs. The only link for a
blind man with the outside
world. These dogs love their
masters and enable them TO be a
little more independent.
Tell the people more about
the K-9 Troops in our army.
Tell them about the watch dog,
the work dog and the pet.
Try 10 make them realize
that dogs have for years PRO-
TECTED THEIR MASTERS
AND LOVED THEM.
There are many like myself
who have not heard of vivisec-
ton. Tell them the things I
have written here, my friend,
and I'm sure you will win your
point. REGINA NJ. FLIRI.

ture. the Reward for Mans Best
Friend"

am proud TO admit il.
This article has touched me

way that / could help.
! just can't imagine there are
such heartless people IN THIS

there are such sadlsts existing
here in this country.
Do you think it would do any
good TO get signers against such

tions you could make that l
might he able TO carry through.
