Suva’s Latest Curse
From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, Jan. 27.
■"PHE latest nuisance in Suva, and one * that is assuming rather alarming proportions, is the hordes of wild dogs which frequent the suburbs.
These ownerless creatures seem to hunt in packs and have been playing havoc in many poultry yards for some time past, seeming to kill from pure destruc tive instincts rather than for food.
Many valuable birds have been lost by poultry owners, and in some cases cal ves have been worried to death. But the most serious case yet concerns four stud Romney Marsh rams, imported by Mr.
G. C. Foulis, of Tavua. These were in the animal quarantine station at Suva, when wild dogs broke in and killed three of them.
The police have been shooting a good many stray dogs around the town. House holders are keeping pea rifles handy.
