Description
Governor Charles S. Deneen hugs a woman representing Boston as they mourn dead animals hanging on the walls. A cat labeled "Pet Cats Kidnap[p]ed and Dissected" hangs under a Boston Medical Colleges sign while a rabbit labeled "Rabbit Shepherds Abolished" hands under an Illinois Legislature sign.
In 1911 the Illinois legislature signed a bill abolishing deputy game wardens, or rabbit shepherds, and granting their powers to local law enforcement officials.
