The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is a "charity." There is no pecuniary benefit in it for any of its members; its work in the education of mankind in the proper treatment of domestic animals is instruction in a duty incumbent on us as human beings. Its hospital for animals, if established by a bequest or other gift, would be treated as a charity. It has a humane, legal, and public or general purpose; and, whether expressed or not in the Statute of 43 Elizabeth, comes within the equity of that statute. An institution is both benevolent and charitable which educates men in the diseases of the domestic animals, and the proper means of dealing with them, even if it also inculcates the duty of kindness and humanity to them, and provides appropriate means of discharging it. 1 Common carriers, by land or water, from one State to another, may not confine cattle, sheep, swine, or other animals, for a longer period than twenty-eight consecutive hours, without unloading them for rest, water, and feeding, for at least five consecutive hours, unless prevented from unloading by storm or other accidental cause. The hours in transit on connecting roads are to be taken into the account. If such unloaded animals are not properly fed and watered by their owner, the transporter shall care for them, and have a lien for the service. Willful failure to comply with the foregoing provisions exposes the offender to a penalty of $100 to $500. An exception is made in favor of cars and boats in which the animals have proper food, water, space, and opportunity to rest. Penalties are recoverable by civil action in the name of the United States, in the circuit or district court held within the district where the violation was committed, or the person or corporation resides or carries on business.2 The lien is enforceable by petition filed in the district court within the district where it attached, or the owner or custodian of the property resides. The court is to issue process suited to the case for the collection of the debt, costs, penalties, and charges. 3 L. With, together with; along with; in connection with; wholly.
