.HUMANE RABBIT CATCHING

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—May I ask your readers, when buying rabbits in shops, to ask for netted ones ? This Would do much towards lessening the tortures of trapping. A child has just written to me saying:—" I live in Devon, and when I am in bed at night I can hear the rabbits in the traps, and I hate it."—I am, Sir, C.
