  Long 
  used 
  as 
  scavengers, 
  until 
  an 
  order, 
  whose 
  studied 
  cruelty 
  resulted 
  from 
  the 
  Moslem 
  

   reluctance 
  to 
  kill, 
  banished 
  them 
  to 
  cannibalism 
  on 
  a 
  tiny 
  island, 
  the 
  dogs 
  of 
  Constantinople 
  

   have 
  claimed 
  their 
  full 
  share 
  of 
  notoriety. 
  Today 
  their 
  number 
  is 
  greatly 
  reduced 
  and 
  they 
  

   are 
  no 
  longer 
  the 
  pest 
  they 
  once 
  were.
