WHY SHOULDN'T WE EAT CATS? 79 



And, to follow up this chain of argument, 

 cats eat sparrows why shouldn't we eat cats ? 

 Really, there is no knowing whither Mr. 

 Holt may not lead us ! Frank Buckland has 

 not gone quite so far as Mr. Holt, but he 

 says that "a field-mouse is an excellent 

 bon bouche for a hungry boy ; it eats like a 

 lark."
