CORRESPONDENCE

Welfare of Animals

To the Editor,

Hongkong Telegraph.

Sir. May I invite all lovers of animala personally to see that their domestic pets

are at this season of the year provided with an adequate supply of drinking water at all times?

In particular, I would ask them to remember that birds in their natural state seck shelter during the heat of the day and that to leave eaged birds exposed to the glare and heat of the sun, without proper protection, will cause auffering,Such birds are pri oners, unable to protect them selves as they would in a natural state, so please give them at least this careful attention.

I would earnestly appeal to all lovers of animals in this Colony also to assist the Colony's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals In Its steady and constant efforts for the welfare of all animals and birds.

Thanking you for your courtesy In permitting me the use of your columns.

D. DAVIES, Vice-President, Hongkong Society for the Pro- vention of Cruelty to Animals.
