Abstract
UNDER this not very happily conceived title the University of London Animal Welfare Society has brought together a very instructive and useful summary of what is being done in the suppression of cruelty to animals, the world over. Yet one cannot but feel that there is a grave danger of concentrating on themes like the slaughter of animals, where the pain inflicted has most certainly been exaggerated, and losing sight of many grave aspects of cruelty to animals where education and reform is long overdue. These include the sufferings of animals trapped for fur; and the use of poisons for so-called ‘vermin’, bringing painful death to thousands of animals against which no charge is made.
