Eighth Consecutive Meet January 31, 1930 Editor, WrLM~rT~ LIFE: · You will note from my address that T am located practically on the line between Wilmette and. Kenilworth and I l~ ave just discovered that we have a '"dog poisoner" in my neighborhood. I know of no more despicable or cowardly act than to give a dog strych:line or arsenic on a piece of meat. If a dog_:_even a stray dog absolutely worthless-is annoying me or my fami!y, I am sure that the village police "·ill take the necessary action. If a dog were mad and attacked me or my family, I would shoot it. I am a !over of dogs and horses and I know of no finer companion than a clog. As someone has said, "The more I see of certain people, the better I love my dog." Last week my son Jack's dog was poisoned. However by immediate t:-eatment from a fine veterinary <lnd after receiving the same attention and care that ~ human being would recetve, the dog's life was saved. I am attaching herewith a clipping from last Sunday's Tribune \'\' hich indicates another serious danger to hun~an life. I am sure there must be a kgal responsibility and if I can locate the guilty party I will certainly lay the matter before the proper authority. Will you be kind. enough to give some space in your valuable paper to this matter as I am sure the subject will be o f interest to most of your 1 eader:;. Very truly yours, J. A.
