To the Editor of the "Norta-Cama Dairy News."
Sir,—I would like to call the attention of the authorities concerned to the large number of unmuzzled dogs which is to be found on the Bund foreshore at all times of the day, and every day the week.
I understand that the regulations call for effective muzzling in ell cases, whether the animal is on a Jeash or not.
In most of the instances which I have noticed the dogs are neither muzzled nor on a leash.
The same people (foreigners) make a regular practice of taking their dogs unmuzzled on to the Bund foreshore, so that this breach of the regulations is clearly intentional.
If a dog-catcher with a cart was stationed at the Nanking Road jetty and all unmuzzled dogs removed summarily and without caution to their owners, doubtless the evil in question would soon abate.
I write on this subject because it is most unfair that those dogs which are kept muzzled should he at the mercy of those dogs which are free to inflict serious harm on the defenceless ones. My dog was attacked recently by one of these unmuzzled animals and I narrowily escaped- being bitten by the same savage brute.
Enclosing my card, I am, etc., Shanghai, Feb. 28.
