Meat and violence

p. 5 · Read in the full issue

Dear Sir

I passed through Nadi Airport from New Zealand to Hawaii and picked up the June issue of Pacific Islands Monthly. I was really saddened to see that you gave such a feature to McDonald’s.

This is a company which has built its profits on the backs of billions of slaugh tered animals.

There is a direct correlation between violence and the eating of meat that has been known for centuries.

Why does a country like Fiji want to add violence to its peaceful world?

I hope the Fijian people do not support this product. It is in their best interests.
