Show The Worm's Way. "The Hon. Stephen Coleridge, the English anti-vivisectionist," said an anti-vivisectionist of Philadelphia, "is delighted with the recent English vivisection vivi-section report, which promises to abolish even the use of the live bait in fishing. "Mr. Coleridge once argued here in Philadelphia about the cruelty of fish-iug-with worms. " 'Oh,' his opponent said, 'the mere fact that a worm writhes and wriggles when impaled on a hook is no proof that it is actually suffering pain.' "'No, oh, no!' said Mr. Coleridge, sarcastically. 'Beyond doubt that is just the worm's way of laughing at being tickled.' " |
