The Society which puts its claim before you this evening may, we hope, Justly be included among those, which perform a public duty with private work and personal subscription..

The Hong Kong Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, has been in existence for some 30 years, and Mas endeavoured throughout this period, to azell- orate the condition of animal- and birds in the Colony.

The particular activity most in the public eye, is perhaps the work carried on at the Dogs Home, but. there is much more than this which is carried on by the officials and voluntary helpers of the So | clety which does not come to such

prominent notice.

and The Society's Inspector members of the Committee make regular inspections of premises and chops where live animals and birds are sold, and every en- deavour is made to improve the conditions and to alleviate any suffering.

The generous response, made to Its annual appeals in the pest
