THE. STEEL TRAP

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sra,—Those who have followed the recent correspondence in the Spectator may be interested to know that there is now being circulated a petition (originated by Mrs. Pargeter and adopted by a committee representing a number of different societies) which asks for legislation prohibiting the use of the steel foot trap. Copies of the petition may be obtained by sending a postcard either to the National Council for Animals' Welfare Week, 11 Lincoln's Inn Fields, W.C. 2, or to the Council of Justice to Animals, 42 Old Bond Street, W. 1. Your readers may also be interested to know that a meeting in support of this measure is to be held at the Caxton Hall on Wednesday, March 14th, at 3 o'clock.—I am, Sir, &c., J. LEONARD CATHER.
