  1925 PATHFINDER, Washington, DC - unlawful to kill a dog when man is at fault  

 

This eBay purchased journal has many unique events and nationwide news stories inside of it. - A decision was made in Alabama 1925 that is is unlawful to kill a dog simply because a man didn't pay his dog tax. It reasons that if a man refuses to pay taxes on a house, the offended municipality does not destroy the house. For the same reason, the animal should not be destroyed. (DLTC AGREES, plus an  animal is a life and a house is not a living thing!)

Mention in Hollywood of complaints of Jack Dempseys dogs were a menace to the neighborhood, Jack Siler offered $5,000 in a trust fund to anyone who was willing to take his fox terrier and rehome him, providing that he also would bury him in a copper-lined casket when he dies and erect a monument over his remains.

 Also in this journal was a story of a butcher shop cat who was administered oxygen when fireman braved ammonia fumes that had driven the butchers from work.

 The Dowager Duchess of Sutherland quit the Hotel Blackstone in Chicago when the management refused to allow "Glinko" her pet Pekeingese in hotel rooms.
