Photographic films have been taken of the different phases of torture Inflicted upon old English horses which are periodically imported to Antwerp to be killed and sold for meat The British consuls have often drawn attention to the terrible agony inflicted on these animals. Such complaints having proved fruitless, the scenes of torture have just been cinematographed for the edification of the British public, whose loud protests will, it is hoped, provoke diplomatic .interference and radical reform in ,the Anglo-Flemish horse traffic.
