Stag Hunting The poll of members of the R.S.P.C.A. on

the prohi- bition of all wild deer hunting with hounds has resulted in a majority in favour of action by the Society of 1,988. 4,267 members recorded their votes. We congratulate the Society on the outcome of the poll, which shows that nearly three to one of the members are against stag hunting. The next step will probably be the introduction of a Bill into Parliament. The Bill will no doubt meet with considerable opposition, but no good cause was ever achieved without a struggle.
