Humane Slaughter.

[To The Editor of Hongkong Telegraph.]

Sir With reference to the ap peal of the S. P. C. A., apart from apathy unfortunately only too com- mon. with regard to the work in general of this most meritorious institution, there is, in Hongkong, I fear, a particular apathy caused by the feeling of lack of proper tion in the aims, obfects and mothods of the Society.

Surely, the greatest of all cruelty accurs in the slaughtering of an- imals for food. Life is not extin- guished by violent means, in large Beatient creatures with highly or ganised nervous systems, without their suffering intense agony, com- pared to which the pain caused by carrying fowls by their wings (the muscles of which are abnormally developed) Is less than infinitesi mal.
