Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

numerous agencies have been at work to mitigate the miseries and sufferings of the livestock. Religion has advocated kindness, the law has prohibited cruelties and humane societies have come to the rescue of oppressed and maltreated animals. But these agencies tackle the relatively few cruelties inflicted by brutal and careless persons. Dr. Maurice C. Hall has rightly remarked that against the large bodies of cruelties inflicted by the nature in the form of disease and suffering stand the great groups of veterinarians and scientists, who oppose nature's array of hostile forces, when these (forces) are directed against man's domesticated animals, his game and game birds, and his fur bearers, fish and other useful animals.
