THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY,

OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

INAUGURAL MEETING.

The inaugural meeting of the Satiety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was held

yesterday afternoon in the City Hall, H.E. the Governor, who was accompanied by Lady Blake, presiding. The meeting was fairly largely attended.

In proposing the first resolution on the paper, His Excellency explained the objects of the mesting, and said the formation of such a Society in Hongkong had not come a day too soon, He referred to cases of cruelty to animals that bad come under his own notice, where horses, cattle, and fowls were made the victims of unnecessary suffering, and expressed the conviction that carelessness or thoughtless ness on the part of the people indisting that sulfering had a great deal to do with it. He quinted an instance that occurred once in the West Indies, where, riding along the road one ay, he saw an old negro woman carrying some fowls to the markets by their legs with their heads hanging down. He stopped the old woman and said to her-"That is a cruci thing to do; how would you like, my god larly, if took you up by the feet and carried you that way for two or three miles? She peared outraged at the idea, but carried the fawls properly after that. She simply had not tought about it. Ta the same way there was a comption here recently about gross cruelty to a pony, which had been driven about all day and at last drappe and bearly died; it was possible that there the Chinese thought as fistle about that poov as the Corney, whom Mr. Leitch was fond of caricaturing in the pages of Punch years ago, thought about his horse. When told that the ani al might be driven for thirty miles bui conti not possibly be driven for sixty, he answered-"It's all right; I have brought two whips. In most of these cases it was probable that the cruelty was the result of unfeeling thoughtlessness rather than deliberate bratality. The pur. pose of the Suciety was to stimulate the susceptibilities of these thoughtless persons and bring before them appreciation of the fact that God, who hid laid upon all animals the capacity to suffer, had planted in the human breast the seeds of sympathy, and pity, and mercy, and without cultivation of these qualities, a man, or woman, however successful or high or mighty, was but a poor crenture whose mind had been deformed by neglect or abuse. As Shakespeare had said in his beautiful lines

Mercy is an attribute to God himself." His Excellency, whose remarks were received with applause, then read the following resolution standing in his name:-That it is desirable to form a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Hongkong and it be now resolved that such a Society be hereby formed under the name of The Hongkong Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals."

and also the children of the Colony, trust therefore that our suggestions on this subject will receive the earnest consideration of those engaged in educational work in Hongkong and I would add that I hope later on we may see our way to offering prizes for the best essays

bearing on the question of kindness to animals to be competed for by children in the various which I think might be considered is the educational establishments. Another point establishment, in co-operation with the Police, of a home for lost dogs and cats, in fact an extension, might be arranged of the existing establishment already maintained by the police for stray dogs. With regard to cases of in. dividual acts of cruelty the existing law provides certain degrees of punishment, but in really wanton cases, such as the burning alive of rais or killing them in cages by slowly pouring boiling water on them (a favourite pastime of native servants) I would venture to suggest that mere imprisonment does not meet the case. People who can be guilty of such nets are more easily appealed to physically, or through their purse, and I for one would like to see the law amended. Grass cases of cruelty should, in my opinion, he treated ns is robbery with violence, and the Courts should I consider in such cases be empowered to indict heavier fines, coupled at discretion, with corporal nunishment. In the case of an animal being in- jured (such as far instance a horse which is lame) but capable of being cured, under suitable care until its recovery be effected, the expenses in cured to be borne by those responsible for its condition. With these remarks I have much

pleasure in seconding the resolution proposed

by His Excellency.

The Hon. Wei Yuk supported the resolution which was carried unanimously,

The 1 shopf Victoria proposed the second resolution as follows:-"The purpose of the Society is to encourage by every possible means the promotion of humanitarianism to wards Animal Creation. (4) The members of the Society will do all in their power to put a stop to cruelty to animals by individual effort. (4) They will use their best endeavours to teach the true meaning of kindness to animals to all with whom they are brought into contact and to educate children in these views; to which end they would suggest the introduction of books bearing on this subject into the schouls of the Colony. (e) 1t is further pro- posed to gain this object as regards the Chinese by the translation and circulation of suitable, literature amongst them." The Bishop said he was glad to hear that the chief object of the Society was to be educational, and for that reason be was glad that the resolution had been put into his hands, because the method advocated by that resolution was chiefly education. His firm conviction was that the Chinese were not a cruel people, and where une found cases of cruelty these things were only owing to ignorance. The conditions under which the Chinese of the poor class lived tended Mr. E. A. Hewett seconded, and said:-Your to promote thoughtlessness with regard to the

It was for the necessary permission 10 add the word "Royal" suppression of such acts of cruelty as these that to the name of our Society and that our Society the Society was proposed to be founded. may then be known as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. As to the need for such a Society as this being formed in Hongkong, I fear there cannot but be ane opinion and that is that it is very badly required. While we must give full credit to what is done by the Police and other Authorities towards putting down individual cases of cruelty, we know that by themselves they cannot do all that is required to put a stop to the great and entirely unnecessarry cruelty to which so large a number of dumb creatures is daily subjected. ! wilt indicite a few instances of this. A trade ia cattle, even at the best, must result in much suffering to poor beasts, and the trade here of both cattle and pigs is no exception to this rule. During the past few days I have been informed that "drenching" is universally practised at the cattle sheds, this I need hardly point out is not only a fraud on those purchasing cattle but results in considerable suffering to the unfor- tunate animal. While the new act now before -the Legislature will go far towards ameliorating the condition of the animals when it becomes law, an act by itself is not sufficient, constant supervision is necessary to see the provisions. Gascoigne, K.C.M.G, Commodore C. G.

Rev. C. Hickling supported the resolution, and said that if the example of His Excellency in the West Indies were more generally followed here it might do a great deal towards securing better treatment for the dumb creation,

Referring to the case quoted by His Lordship the Bishop of a man caning a ricksha conlie, His Excellency said that a man who, used violence where he expected to be hit back might be called brutal and cruel, but a man who used violence when he knew he would not be hit back was a contemptible coward. (Applause.)

Bishop Hoare Faid he did not want it to be understood that he considered the caning of coolies to be a practice, but the cane was fre- quently used when it ought not to be,

The resolution was put to the meeting and carried without dissent.

On the motion of His Excellency, seconded by Commodore Robinson, it was decided to request the following to form the first Com mittee of the Society-President, H. E. Sir Henry A. Blake, G.C.M.G. Vice- Presidents, H.E. Major-General Sir W.
