THE EXPORT OF HORSES
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
Sin,—In answer to "D. Kennedy" may I say that the Bill to stop the Export of Horses for Butchery has passed its second reading, and is now blocked in the Committee stage by a number of Bills before it ?
It is certain that if owners of horses could be informed on the suffering involved in this traffic, and of the terrible conditions of Vaugirard—where some English horses go for slaughter—the great majority of those people would urge the passing of the Bill to stop the export. If "D. Kennedy" can suggest any way of getting such an appeal published by the general Press we should be very glad to hear from him. I am convinced that if we could once inform the general public on the facts of this traffic, nothing would be allowed to hinder the passing of the Bill to stop it.—I am, Sir, &c., A. M. F. Corm.
