“RELIGION vs. BRUTALITY. "Eight Hindus of Bhovanipore were charged at Alipore with cruelty to a boar. It was stated that the accused on the last day of their Chota Pooja tied the four legs of a boar, and set a large number of bullocks to kill it by goring as it passed them. They believed that the man whose bullock killed the boar, would have a lucky year. As the affair was going on, the police informed the agents of the S. P. C. A., who arrested the accused. The men in defence stated that the practice was part of their religion, and that it had existed from time immemorial, They were fiued Rs. 25 each , in default one month's rigorous imprisonment each."

Nothing in this Act shall render it an offence, to kill any animal in a manner required by the religion and religious rites and usages of any sect, tribe or class.'
Nobody would have been more sorry than myself, had the wicked accused escaped without punishment; and my only object is to submit to Government, cases of horrible cruelty that may be committed with impunity under the said section."
