Points To Penalties In Animal Cruelly SOCIETY URGES CITIZENS W REPORT CASES OF MISTREAT MENT TO BODY (Greenville News.) Many persons are ignorant of' fact that the law affords pi tion to dumb animals and penalties are imposed for nt_ and cruelty, it was pointed out terday by officials, of the Greect^fe chapter of the Society for the P*- vention of Cruelty to Animal*. The statutes on this subjecl seat based not only on the theory that wanton acts of cruelty have a ba»~ dency to corrupt public moral*, knit; upon the more modem theory ifcaifc “animals have rights, which . SS** those of human beings, are to ft* protected.” The South Carolina statute* among other things provliexr “Whoever overloads, overdrive^ em- erworks, tortures, torments, neaedS- lessly mutilates, cruelly kills, 3ft treats, or whoever deprives of nec essary sustenance or shelter, «r whoever inflicts unnecessary pena or suffering upon any animal, **■ whoever causes the same to be dm** shall be guilty of a misdemeasanr and be punished by imprisomaeaM. in jail not exceeding 30 days orlgpr a fine not exceeding one hun&mft dollars.” The object of the society, it w»* stated, is to inculcate in the puIsStk a humane attitude toward duoili animals, for its beneficial ettedt upon people as well as for the sake of the animals. It is the belief dT those who have made an intelli gent study of the matter, that cbaS- dren who are taught to he kind azofc. considerate of animals, will de velop in humane principles. Or stating the matter differently, ifc ioc the opinion of humanitarians Unfe cruelty is crime, that cruelty if tom- checked, leads to crime—that T* brutal act bespeaks a brutal miftfl”* x The idea that juices in c£ foods should be discarded is longer accepted.
