But there are many who do not sporitareously love animals and by these, I think, the fact that the S.P.C.A. is an essential organ. isation is too often forgotten. Tho" care of animals is looked upon by them ne a sort of sentimental frill to life: the support of the S.P.C.A., they think, should be left to soft- hearted persons who are "silly about dogs and cats and horses," OF persons who find soul-mates among caged birds or goldfish or say of these "sentimentalists " about whom the hard-headed find it cay to be sarcastic. Yet, I think, it should be possible to be hard-handed without being wooden-headed, and momont's thought should show any prejudiced person who has a few dollars to apare that bo is supporting a necessary public ser vico in contributing ta the S.P.C.A. whether ho personally has a fondness for pet animals or

not.

There are, we know, austere souls who disapprove of the existence of dogs as pets; dogs eat babies, they tell us; dogs add one more form of smell to the million smells in digenous to this Colony; dogs add one more danger of a (happily very. rare) discnse to a world which breathes in danger with avery breath it takes-(and yet somehow manages to survive).

All these contentions may or may not be reasonable but none of them is rolevant when advanced as reason why contributions should be withheld from the S.P.C.A. Whe ther you like dogs or not, doga exist, will continue to exist, and must be looked after; they may stray, they may be injured, they may become diseased, they may have to be destroyed; they may be valuable even if regarded purely as property, and if so, the public is responsible for their care when lost, as it is responsible for other missing property. The Dogs' Home, supported by the S.P.C.A, Gilla these needs; it collects stray dog -wanted or unwanted dags--it isolates diseased dogs, it has the Colody's only lethal chamber an its premises The Dogs' Home is not Atemple to sentimentality; its existence as necessary to those. who do not like dogs' as to those who do and this necessary institu tion nila, ukiney.
