Fiji Has Meatless Tuesday, Now
From Our Own Correspondent SUVA. June 14.
EVERY Tuesday after July 1, will be a meatless day in Fiji. No meat can be sold or bought without a special permit and no hotel or cafe can serve meat, as part of any meal.
This is one of two orders issued to cut meat-consumption and to conserve dwindling supplies.
The second order prohibits the kill ing. for human consumption, of any bull calf or bullock between 150 lb. and 450 lb. dressed weight, and no cow or heifer under 350 lb. dressed weight, except under special permit.
Beef allocations to Suva butcheries have been cut from 371 carcases to 250 weekly, and to country butcheries, a cut of 15 per cent, of the present quotas has been imposed.
