Proteat Against Docking Horace.

“Some of us Christian people have wofully failed fn sturdy opposition to wanton cruelty, to suffer the return of a practice which should have passed with the dark ages. See the noblest of our animal brethren, the horse, deformed and tortured to please a whim of degenerate taste: A' docked horse Is such a monstrosity,, artistically, that It Is astounding that) those claiming even rudimentary taste can regard it with even the least degree of allowance. Artistically, a docked horse is In the - same plight as a bird without a tail, the most unbalanced, forlorn creature that Instinctively hides Itself forivery, shame and self-disgust”—James H. Ecob, D. D.
