A Plea for Kindness to All Animals
Editor Vree Pressi-Will you please give me space in your valuable paper to plead with automobile owners and drivers to spare the lives of farm animals. I oppose cruelty to any living being and cannot bear to see torture or mistreatment. The saddest sight I witnessed was when my dog Cote was killed by a car. Think of my plea as you approach farmers' homes and don't murder the innocent farm animals. Yours sincerely Miss Eton Williams Goldsworth Farms Vila Rica Ga.
