CRUELTY TO CHICKENS:

TO THE EDITOR ar tus "Hongkong Telegrafi."

DEAR SIR,-We wish to appeal through the press to all house-keepers in Hongkong, who have their chickens brought alive to their houses from the market or Dairy Farm.

If ladies only realized when they write "one chicken" in their compradors book what sui fering will almost certainly befall that wretched bird bafore it arrives at their house, we feel sure that they would provide a proper basket for its transit:

How often one sees a coolie carrying the usual market basket with a chicken, its legs tied, resting precariously on the id, or hanging head downwards, nad one shudders to think what must often happen to the chickens in the wild rush for sents in the Chinese portion of the tram, when basket is piled upon basket, and exched coolies fight for places. ..

We, therefore, appeal, in the interests of humanity, to all house-keepers to either have their chickens killed in the market or Dairy

Their transit, and to insist upon its being used.

Yours faithfully,
