Cases of theft have at times been
remarked among female dogs, but
such cases are almost always influen-
ced by material love. Certain dogs
which, when in a normal condition,
al'; very well behaved and respect
their masters' property, begin to
steal when they have puppies, and
they steal anything that the latter
will eat.

such as is caused by the exigencies
of the struggle for life ; but murder
committed under the influence of

would be absurd to declare that the
hawk which kills a swallow is a
criminal, for he is only fighting out
his struggle for existence, but on the
other hand, animals which kill
others of their own species are guilty
of LL true criminal act when they do
so for any other reason than that of
