Illinois Valiev News, Thursday, October 14, 1948 LETTERS 4 . D ear E ditor: As one of your many readers of the Illinois Valley News I would like to see you publish an item about an abuse here in our Valley th a t is a disgrace to any civilized community. It has been the practice of many lately, to 'abandon unw anted k it tens and even puppies on highways, and in yards of private homes. No doubt plenty of good homes could be found for these dumb animals, and they make loving pets for chil dren. Instead they are left to suffer, starve and eventually die if not picked up by those who can not stand for this neglected abuse to animals. There is nothing kind hearted about treatm en t of this sort even to dumb animals.
