Stray Animals

Treat your dogs well. Give them good food always, and keep them clean. If you do not do this, they will go to the street as stray dogs, dirty, starving, neglected, a danger and a nuisance to all.

Do not tolerate stray dogs and cats. These animals are unhappy and dangerous. Catch them and give them to the Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which will find homes for them , or will kill them mercifully and painlessly. If there is no branch of this society in you town, give the animals to the police, who can put them to death without cruelty. It is far better for animals to die than to struggle on from day to day, without food or shelter.

Streets crowded with these unhappy animals are a disgrace to civilized people. Stray dogs and cats are a sign of cruelty of the town people who allow the live. Think how you would be if you were thrown on the street to find your living as best you could not tel anyone of your wants, and were often stoned by careless children. Do not allow dumb animals to suffer so.
