Paying twice

Written by 

AS A follow-up to last issue’s comments about MIE funding, the Hound is reliably informed the meat reform group has received $36,000 from supporters’ donations along with $20,000 from Beef+Lamb NZ.

According to MIE chair Richard Young, “B+L has not funded our endeavours to date but rather supported MIE in the running of our nationwide meetings.” According to your mate this means sheep and beef farmers are paying twice – either through direct donations or levies to Beef+Lamb NZ
