Reverend J. Stratton

On Cruelty to Animals

letter to the editor, Journal of Education

[1903] Rev. J. Stratton, "Dr. H. B. Gray On Cruelty to Animals," letter to the editor, Journal of Education 25 (1903-Jun); 385-386.

SIR,—As the subject of animals' rights is much to the front in these days, and as moral questions of this sort have an interest for instructors of the rising generation, may I ask if you could do me the kindness to publish an address of the Rev. H. B. Gray, D.D., Warden of Bradfield College? The address was delivered on May 5 at a public meeting, held by the Humanitarian League, at Westminster Palace Hotel, to support Mr. Corrie Grant's Cruelty to Wild Animals Bill, now before Parliament. This Bill aims at the suppression of tame-deer hunting, coursing previously captured rabbits, and shooting birds from traps.

We who are working for the enactment of this measure should be greatly pleased to secure, if possible, the sympathy and co-operation of educationists of all kinds in the matter.— Believe me, yours truly, (Rev.) J. Stratton, Hon. Sec. of the Sports Department, Humanitarian League. Wokingham, Berks, May 21, 1903.
