CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
The subject of cruelty to animals has been brought to the notice of the public fron time to time in the local Press by flagrant cases which, in some instances, have found their way in the proceedings of the summary Court, and in others have only had notice in the columns of the newspapers for want of any person who would lay an information for a prosecution. It has been left to the public-spiritedness of one of our most pro- minent citizens to bring the subject forward in such a form that, we trust, may lead to some definite action being taken as a result of Mr. E. A. Hewett's suggestion for the formation of a local society for the preven tion of cruelty to animals. The grounds upon which he urges the necessity for the provision of such an institution in Hongkong are sufficiently convincing in themselves as

The raison d'être, as Mr. Hewett says, for such an institution which has been found to be needed in Great Britain where for so many years past public sentiment has been educated to consider the humane treatment of animals, applies with more force in the case of Hongkong where the community is largely composed of ignorant lower class natives "who neither by association nor training are restrained from the infliction of suffering upon dumb creation."

Secretary.
That a need exists for such a Society will, 1 : think, be generally admitted, this more readily so when it is remembered the good work done by the Royal Society at home.
If such a Society is needed in Great Britain where for so many years past public sentiment has been educated to consider the humane treatment of animals, how much more must this be the case in a community such as this, largely composed of ignorant lower chas natives who neither by association nor training, are restrained from the infliction of suffer ng upon dumb creation.
I feel convinced from the sympathy already expressed in various quarters that a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will meet with the required support, once a definite scheme is put before the public, and I am encouraged in the belief that our Chirese friends will also readily join in the movement from the fact that charitable persons in the. interior of China found and maintain asylums for ownerless and sick animals.
I now therefore venture to urge this question upon public notice through the local press, and to ask those interested to take the matter up without delay in order that a Society may be formed for the protection of our dumb friends.
While asking assist.nce from the public we must not ignore the good work done by the Government which is fully alive to the necessity for putting down all forms of cruelty to animals," and the ample provision to deal with this evil provided for by the law; but as we know how greatly this good work is supplemented else. where by similar institutions we would wish to see in our Colony, a like Society.
I feel sure it only needs a little energy an our part for us to do here what is being so worthily done in other parts of the Empire.
Yours obediently,

We may probably be ex- cused the suggestion that the author of this public movement might himself devote a small amount of his time in order to assume the post of provisional secretary pending the formation of the society in the usual course. We are not blind to the fact that in making such a proposition we should be encroaching considerably upon the time and attention of perhaps one of the busiest, most energetic and public-spirited indivi- duals of Hongkong, who is not only willing, but has shown himself ever ready to serve public interests whenever they have made any call upon him for their acquiescence.
