Il ance which is of much interest
and Importance to the American
people, BE Kind to Animals Week, !"
will be conducted this year through
out the week of April % to 30
There is a mistaken belief held by
many thoughtless people that the
admonition to be kind to animals has
been made needless, partly by the
changed character of the times IN
which we live and even more by the
almost universal love which prevails
for animals particularly for those
cherished by children and adults
alike in so many homes.
It is true that comparatively few
people are personally and deliber
ately and maiiciousiy cruel to ami
mails.
It is also true that there are some
six hundred anti-cruelty organiza
tions active in the United States,
including the American Humane
Association and the long established
and respected Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals.
But it is unfortunately not true
but accusingly quite the opposite
that humane regard for animals and
birds has become so completely the
rule in the United States that cruel
practices are either impossible or in
frequent or uf1important
THERE are many forms of cruelty
L to animals which still prevail and
are frequent and important.
It was a shock to the country, for
instance, when the Hearst news
papers recently disclosed that in an
Ohio county hundreds of people
including many children-assemble
annually to indulge IN a particularly
depraved and brutal form of "fox
hunting"
Under the pretext of Kidding the
community of pests, and in defile-
ment Of the name Of sport, these
Ohio people encircle and entrap the
living animals, taunt and torture
them until the hunters are satiated,
and then slowly and painfully and
with many a gripping blow BEAT
THEM TO DEATH WITH CLUBS.
Another form Of cruelty to ami
mails against which the Hearst news
papers have campaigned for years,
and which even now is not eradi
Gated, is that practiced Tor purposes
Of exhibitionism and sensauonahsm
in motion pictures and other public
entertainment.

The inevitable result j. that

scientiouS problem Of deciding

can home Is threatened with
something like obliteration.

home and the family and so
IL Is.
But il does not follow that
character cannot conquer pow
erty. for if that had been so 40
years ago and earlier IN the

family would have gone 10 smash

ID Animals
full speed is one of the most disgust
ing of these practices.
The forcing of horses over high
places, usually into streams or pools
of water, is another.
The vicious practice of bull
logging" is still another.
Thus we have depraved sports
manship and bestial exhibitionism as
two of the most common excuses for
cruelty to helpless animals.
But these are by no means all of
the excuses.
ONE of the very worst. and the
- most misunderstood and misrep-
resented, and the most inexcusable
and indefensible, is the cruel and
ruthless and utterly useless practice
of so-called vivisection.
This is the sacrifice, tormenting,
torture and lingering slaughter of
animals, supposedly done in the name
of science.
Finally, it is mistake to suppose
that commercial exploitation of ami
mals-once the ma jor field of cruelty
to animals been eliminated by
modern mechanization.
There are still more than fifteen
million horses and mules working in
American agriculture.
More than HALF of all American
farming is still done with the labor
of draft animals.
SO there is still a great need for
the admonition to BE KIND TO
ANIMALS in the United States.
CONSEQUENTLY, there is a great
- and useful and humanitarian
purpose to be served by BE KIND
TO ANIMALS WEEK.
---- After God had made man in his
image, according to the first chapter
in the first book of the Bible, this
charge was put upon humanity
And let them haze dominion
oUer fish in the sea, and oUer foul of
the air, and oUer the cattle, and ouer
all the earth, and oUer every creep
ing thing that creepeth upon the
earth"
Surely this dominion of man over
the creatures Of the earth was not
intended TO be a rule Of destruction
and cruelty, but of justice, mercy
and affection.
That is what BE KIND TO AMI
MAILS WEEK has promoted and en-
couraged and enhanced for thirty
years in the United States, and what
At will emphasize throughout this
years annual observance.
