Why do you turn your face away?

Word reaches me that some people don't want the truth about the RIU's poisoning of dogs and cats to become known. The reason given is that people depend on the RIU for income.

To those people my questions are:

Do you realise that any negative publicity about the RIU has not been created by the fight for justice but is the direct result of the crime that has been committed? (No poison on beaches = no dead dogs = no negative publicity).

Do you want the RIU and other hotels to continue to place strychnine on public beaches where it creates a serious and possibly fatal hazard for people as well as animals? Don't you think it would be better for tourists and residents to be safe on public beaches?

Do you think that it is healthy that one hotel can do whatever they want because a handful of businesses rely on them? Is it ok for them to threaten people with lawyers in order to ensure silence?

Why do you think hotels have been able to get away with it for so long?

Did you leave your conscience at home?

It is the same thing with the mass slaughter of turtles here - so many people living here for so many years accepting the unacceptable.

What will it take for you to speak out? The death of a child?
