NAPIER ABATTOIRS.
CHARLES McKENZIE.
(To the Editor.) Sir,— -Last October Mr Adams exi posed *th'e vile conditions at the _Napier abattoirs, especially the fact that on account of the size of the killing-pen allowing too much movement, tne cattle were liable to he wounded seyeral times before receiving their dea*bstroke. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals wrote to the Gity Gouncil on the matter. and it was decided to spend £800 on making the killing-pen and tlie whole place more up-to-date. To-day I asked my butcher if the work had been done, and was told it was mm J®" started. I then spoke to most of tne butchers in town, who all agree that very few cattle killed ^ in the pen at present can wescape without receivmg several wounds. Tliey are all inaignant at the delay and declare the whole place out of date in every way— some-sav the worst in New Zealand > even littie places in the country being better. It is renorted that 284 cattle were killed in Februarv. the shortest month, so that since October at least 1000 animals have suffered needless tnrtnre. — I am. etc..
