With Martha
Did you write your Provincial
Member of parliament to register'
a portest against a new piece of
legislature which will allow
'dealerS' to buy and sell our 'pets
and other animals should they
fall into the hands of the
Humane SocietY or other
'shelters'? If your pet is missing,
that is usually the last place you
would check. But if these new
'bills are 'passed, as I understand
it, people can take the animals,
sell them for research, etc, — and
this way there will be plenty of
live animals for their "use."
- The Ontario Htimane Society
has always tried to protect our
animals and expose these people
writ, have caused such terrible
cruelty to them. If these
'DEALERS' are allowed to take
aniinals from the - society's
protective care and sell them,
with no thought of what their
fate will be — just what are we
getting into if Bill§ 73 and 74 are
allowed to piss legislation
• without a thought or protest
from anyone of us?
.The worst of it will be that
once these dealers gret .your
' animal in their "establishment",
the government will be
protecting THEM from
• inspection by the Humane
Society and they couldn't care
les§ about "cruelty to animals.".
It frightens me!

see that they are assembled into
small blankets.

Quilts and blankets — with
the advent of the electric

and blankets sitting in closets —
