Mr. Finnigan sald, inter alia :----- In Hong Kong we have a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The work of this Society L not confined to preventive measures only. It aims at encouraging acts of kindness to animals and educating public opinion on the subject. The Society has two inspectors, one on the Kowloon side and one on the island. Unfortunately it has not the means to provide more inspectors to carry on its work. These inspectors have their hands full and concentrate on landing places, railway stations and marketa where cattle, pigs and poultry are be ing constantly handled. They also visit hird shops and, other places where birds and animals are kept for
