Fiji Spca Wages War

p. 20 · Read in the full issue

SUVA, June 14.

A STEADILY mounting number of convictions for needless cruelty to animals, may be accepted as evidence of police co-operation with the battle being waged by the SPCA. The society was established by Mrs. Dunoon Kirk in

north-west Viti Levu in the face of a vast public indifference.

The latest case ended with the gaoling of three Lautoka Indians, for a month, for callously driving a bullock with a broken leg.

As part of its campaign to stir up the public conscience, the SPCA is planning a “Be Kind To Animals” Week for July 25 to July 31.
