CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
To brighten up a dull afternoon
two men tied an oil can to a dog's
tail and set the oil on fire. At the
time it seemed hilarious. But the
men did t-ot laugh when they were
haiied into court and found guilty
of cruelty to animals.
Few of us today would quarrel
with the court's ruling. Yet, until
comparativeiy recent years, cruelty
to animals was not a crime at all.
The common law did protect the
property rights of an animal's
owner, but did not protect the
anima! itself. Thus:
Suppose A abused B's horse. B
having suffered an injury to his
property, could collect damages
from A. But suppose B abused his
own horse. Or suppose the horse
was a stray, with no owner to be
concerned. Then the law kept
silent. Nothing stayed the bruta]
hand.
But if the common law did not
condemn, common decency finally
did. In a striking shift of public
opinion, cruelty to animais—in it-
seif—has now been branded every-
where as a crime.
Economics has nothing to do
with it. When a man was fined for
turning an old horse out to starve,
the court spoke not of the dollar
value of the horse but of the mora)
outrage to one of God's creatures.
True, we may still inflict harm
on an animal for an honorable
reason. Thus we may kill an ani-
mal—humanely—for food.
"Otherwise," a judge noted, "one
couid not slaughter a pig or ox for
the market, and man could eat no

Furthermore, we may hit an
animai in self defense. A man who
struck a frenzied cat, which had a
death grip on his hand, was held
to have acted within the law.
Aiso we may chastise an ani-
mal as a matter of training—or
perform surgery on it as a matter
of health. Nor are cruelty laws
carried to unreasonable extremes.
Surely it is no crime to swat a fiy
or bait a hook with a worm.
What the law does denounce is
conduct that affronts the modem
conscience. One court put it this
way:
"Animals whose lives are devoted
to our use and pleasure deserve
kindly treatment. The dominion of
man over them, if not a moral
trust, has a better significane than
the deveiopment of malignant pas-
sions and cruel instincts. Human
beings should be ktnd and just to
dumb brutes, if for no other rea-
son than to learn how to be kind
and just to each other.
