All the animals in the zoological gardens have been killed except the monkeys; they are kept alive from a vague and Darwinian notion that they are our relatives, or at least relatives of some of the members of the government, to whom, in the matter of beauty, nature has not been bountiful.

In the rue Blanche, there is a butcher who sells dogs, rats and cats. He has many customers, but it is amusing to see them sneak into the shop after carefully looking around to make sure none of their acquaintances is near. A prejudice has arisen against rats because the doctors say that their flesh is full of trichinae. I own for my part I have a gulity feeling when I eat dog, the friend of man. I had a slice of spaniel the other day - it was by no means bad, something like lamb, but I felt like a cannibal. Epicures in dog flesh tell me that poodle is by far the best, and recommended me to avoid bulldog, which is coarse and tasteless. I really think that dogs have some means of communicating with each other and have discovered that their old friends want to devour them. The humblest of street curs growls when anyone looks at them. Figaro has a story that a man was followed for a mile by a party of dogs barking fiercely at his heels. He could not understand to what their attentions were due until he remembered that he had eaten a rat for breakfast. The friend of another journalist who ate a dog called Fox, says that whenever anyone calls out ‘Fox’ he feels an irresistible impulse which forces him to jump up.
