Such hideous brutality to dumb animals is Infolerable, and it would seem that something could and should be done fo ensure animals being brought to the Shanghai market get reasonably Rood' treatment en route. It is a disgrace that such things as described in your report should take place, AntHun be C, SOWERLY.
