' " ' Cruel ? Why ? What's a hawk, anyway — cruel devils enough ! ' FOR LOVE OF BEASTS 5 " ' My dear sir, ' I said, * they earn their living just like men ; without caring for other creatures' sufferings. We do not shut you up, apparently, for doing that. Good- bye. '" As he said this, my friend looked at me, and added : — " You think that was a lapse of taste. What would you have said to a man who cloaked the cruelty of his com- mercial instincts by blaming a hawk for being what God had made h...im ? " There was such feeling in his voice that I hesitated long before answering.
" Well, " I said, at last, " in England, anyway, we only keep such creatures in captivity for scientific purposes. I doubt if you could find a single instance nowadays of its being done just as a commercial attraction. " He stared at me.
"Yes, " he said, "we do it publicly and scientifically, to enlarge the mind. But let me put to you this question . Which do you consider has the larger mind — the man who has satisfied his idle curiosity by staring at all the caged animals of the earth, or the man who has been brought up to feel that to keep such indomitable creatures as hawks and eagles, wolves and panthers, shut up, to gratify mere curiosity, is a dreadful thing?
