About This Item
Washington, D.C.: GPO Magazine. Very Good. Soft cover. pp305-366, plus twelve plates, bibliography. Removed from ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1941. VG. In plastic report covers. From the introduction: "The purpose of this article is not to stimulate the keeping of animals in captivity, but rather to make more tolerable and, if possible, more happy the lives of those that are inevitably to be kept in captivity. Most pets are kept because the captor is fond of them. Yet in altogether too many instances the animals are not properly cared for. The result is often suffering, ill health, or death due largely to lack of knowledge on the part of the captor, who would gladly provide his pet all it needed if he but knew how." Here is a footnote: "Animals of many kinds have not yet been successfully kept in captivity, or if they have been so kept, the fact is not generally known. therefore the information now available about the best ways of keeping many kinds is necessarily very incomplete.".
