his mouth: first, that he killed or
injured your dog; and second, that
the animal was of a specified mon-
ey value.
The defendant must then prove
that the conditions confronting him
when he shot or otherwise killed
¢our dog justified the act; or, that
the animal was either without val-
ue, or of much less value than you
claim.
A man who takes tris chances on
deliberately killing a hunting dog
finds comfort in knowing that
statutes exist in nearly all states
upon which he can rely for legal
justification of his act. That of
New Jersey is typical. It reads:
"A person may humanely destroy
a dog in self-defense, or which is
found chasing, worrying, 'wounding
or destroying any sheep, lamb,
poultry or domestic animal."
This defense is used in 95 per
cent of suits prosecuted for wrong-
fully killing hunting dogs. There
are a few, but only a few, other
conditions and circumstances recog-
nized by the courts as justification.
The defendant is bound to prove
that the animal was actually doing
one of the prohibited acts at the
moment he was killed. It is not
enough for him to say he thought
the dog was chasing, worrying,
wounding or destroying sheep,
lamb, poultry or domestic animal, i
Killers of hunting dogs have
been judicially declared liable for
the value of the animal killed un-
~der these circumstances: a dog kill-
ed through malice or evil intent;
killed through some act of neg-
~ligence or carelessness; by inex-
cusable mistake in identity or
failure to perceive the exact char-
acter of the act the suspected dog
is committing at the moment; or

Standards of determining worth
are simple. If the dog has a mar-

value is ordinarily accepted as a

The Van Heusen Century is the only shirt in the

It's soft as a fine handkerchief.., woven on a curve
to fit the contours of your neck. And it's a cinch to
launder because the fold-line is woven in. Your wife
just irons the collar flat, flips it--and it folds perfectly.
We'll give you a new one free if it ever shrinks
