Mac- donald, Mr. Pestonji, Mr. L. Ross, Mr. de Seidlecki, Mr. Veliki, and Mr. H. M. Cockle (Secretary).
The present outbreak of Rabies In Kowloon and the New Terri- torics was fully discussed and it was agreed that an appeal be made to every dog owner in the Colony to co-operate to the fullest extent with the Authorities in their strenuous endeavours to, prevent tha further spread of this disease.
Serum inoculation is now avail- able at the Dogs Home for owners who desire to secure this protection, for their dogs, and it is hoped that the public will receive benefit from this facility.
The Society has for many years advocated the use of the Humane Killer in the Slaughter Houses of the Colony and wish to acknowledge : with appreciation the action of the General Authorities in passing the recent legislation which compels the Use of mechanical means in the slaughter of sheep and goats. The building of the New Dogs Home in rapidly progressing and the Society will shortly have at its command & home worthy of the
cause which it is working.
It is thought that many would avail themselves of the opportunity of contributing to a Society which is accomplishing such valuable work in the Colony and the form here-
for
under will provide this opportunity.
