ABSTRACT
Miss M a y o ’ s description of the slaughter of goats at Kalighat, Calcutta, and her chapter about cruelties practised on dumb animals, both deserve very serious consideration. For such cruelties as she has described do still take place; and wherever they exist they are a standing disgrace. It is not possible to olfer any defence for them at all; for cruelty to dumb animals is evil all the world over, and it is terribly prevalent in some unspeakable forms in India.
