CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—From time to time in letters dealing with some aspects of cruelty, reference has been made to the Spectator's stand for reform, but I think many will join me in wishing to express more definitely our very real gratitude for the service it has rendered to this cause.
Gauging the public's distaste for unpleasant truths, many journals refrain from mentioning the horrors of unskilled slaughtering, brutal trapping and senseless training. Thus the average man and woman attempt to evade responsibility in the matter by saying that they " did not know." Well, they must be told, and the spur of conscience must be driven in until at least the major evils are abated. That is the service the Spectator is performing and all animal lovers are deeply grateful for it.—I am, Sir, &c., S. B. MEYER. 9 Linden Road, Bournville.
