PET TALK
By M.J. I.
HUMANE SUNDAY.
Today is Humane Sunday.
From how many pulpits to
day, will you hear kindness
to animals mentioned? With
the exception of one or two,
and this minority deserves a
lot of credit, our churches are
not even trying to overcome
cruelty with good, because
they simply do not teach hu
maneness. They have no con
sideration or the animal king
dom and are not interested
in learning anything about it
- for instance that animals
have the same feelings which
we have, and many other sig
nificant things that animal
psychologists are finding out
It never occurs to them
that compassion and under
standing in relation to ani.
mals have any bearing on
man's moral and spiritual
quality and his treatment of
his fellow-humans. According
to the Bible, in relation to
the creation of animals, "And
God gave man dominion,1
man has in many cases proven
himself unworthy of this trust.
At a time when man seems
to be chiefly concerned with
the destruction of mankind,
a plea for kindness and sym
pathy to our "lesser brethren"
assumes greater significance.
It discloses the underlying
cause for the tragedy and
darkness engulfing the world
today. Cruelly to weak and
defenseless of all species -sinking
to its lowest most de
grading level, is our brutal
exploitation of animals. The
abuse of animals in present
day science is the worst. Man's
dominion over God's animals
Is being misused when His
creatures are mercilessly sub
jected to suffering as they are
in some American labora
tories. And in the name of enter
tainment -the cock-pit and'
Sales Manager for PP&L Is Announced
Appointment of Samuel M.
Smith, Corvallis, as Copco di
vision sales manager for Pa-
bear-baiting ring have been
outlawed - but one can scarce
ly believe the cruelty invoNed
in training large and wild ani
mals for public performances.
America's crudest sport it the
"steer-busting' event in ro
deos - where the animal is
smashed to the ground with
such violence that it will be
stunned long enough for the
roper to tie three of its feet
together. In this "sport one
out of every fifteen steers that
leaves the chutes will be kill
ed or crippled. The survivors
are trucked from show to
show and it is "busted" and
stunned, again and again.
If this creature could talk
surely it would beg the mercy
of man - even as nan now
begs the mercy of God. But
steer busters extend no mercy
to the steer - for this is enter
tainment! .
To torture people or ani
mals for fun or, indeed, for
any reason, is a relic of the
preoccupation and morality of
primitive man. 1 .. ' , , .
Peace on earth, the cessa
tion of wars and the spiritual
progress of mankind., will
never evolve except that the
hearts of man change and are
reborn into a new era of
mercy and justice to all living
creatures. As long as cruelty,
the colossal transgression, of
the Law of God, is interwov
en through the fabric of our
lives,, bloodshed is inevitable.
Our brutality to the animal
world is reacting on us, and
In turn makes us brutal to
our fellow-man.
The one place in the world.
the church, where one would
expect humaneness to be
taught - it isn't.
Show mercy and love to
all the creatures of God, espe
cially to the Weak and to the
oppressed.-St, 'Francis of As

Another promotion gim
mick has been brought to the
