The British are great animal lovers. They treasure their
collections of miniature ornaments; their mantelpieces are lined
with china badgers, owls, foxes and weasels. Sadly the roads are
all too often decorated with nothing but the carcasses of the

when dead, than more-usual china equivalents will form part of the
forthcoming anti-car exhibition to be held at Newbury, Berkshire.
