TO ANIMALS.

Sin-Will you please be so good na to allow me space in your columns to invite the attention of your readers to the Annual Appeal now being made by the Hong Kong Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and to express the hope that all lovers of animals in the Colony will respond as gene rously this year as they have done in the past and that many new subscribers will be added to our lists.

The policy of the Hong Kong Sceloty for the Prevention of -Cruelty to Animals is as much. directed towards the Promotion of Kindness as it is to the Pravention

of Cruelty, and this is effected, firstly by Education (and the results al roady achieved by this means are an encouragement for pressing on with the work with the utmost vigour, seconly by caution and warning, and lastly, by prosecu- tion.

Insufficient knowledge of the ha bits and needs of animals is the cause of much of the melty to which they are subjected and it is, therefore, highly important to de- voto na much time and energy as may be possible to humane educa tion, particularly amongst the ris ing generation.

There are many forms of cruelty, probably inflicted unintentionally, which can be successfully attacked,

or even checked, only by cuaca

tional means..
