MEAT CONFERENCE CHALLENGED
Save the Earth, Quit meat! was the message SAFE’s ‘butcher’ and ‘farmers’ spread amongst lunch-time pedestrians on
Wellington’s waterfront recently. The action was held outside Te Papa where a conference was being held to celebrate
125 years of meat exports from New Zealand. The butcher carved up the earth (represented by a large cake) to symbolise the
way eating meat destroys the earth. The pieces of cake were given out to passers-by with information about the
detrimental effect meat eating has on the environment.
