Persons involved in the service industry, landscaping, construction and heavy trucking fields have all been beneficiaries of the many developments taking place in St. Kitts and Nevis.

This was stressed by the Vice President of Auberge Firesky Ellis Hazel, during a Cabinet and media tour of the ongoing work at Christophe Harbour last week. Mr. Hazel noted that the project construction of the Beach House Bungalows and the accompanying restaurant was managed by Robert “˜Bobby’ Morris. The buildings were erected by a crew from Allies Construction Company based in Halfway Tree, while the grounds were styled by Craig Collins International Landscape Architecture from Nevis.

On this week’s edition of the SKNIS radio magazine Perspectives, persons involved in heavy trucking touted the boom in the construction industry.

“The change from the sugar industry to the tourism industry has brought a lot of [benefits] for the truckers,” said Kenrick Simmonds, the owner of a small trucking firm. “[There] is more development now due to the change and that creates more work now for the truckers and the guy with the heavy equipment.”

Green Earth Travel to Steer Clients Away From Island Until the ‘Needless Suffering of Animals’ at St. Kitts Ross Veterinary School Ends

PETA’s recently announced travel boycott of St. Kitts over the needless mutilation and killing of healthy sheep, donkeys, and goats at the island’s Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine is under discussion at travel agencies around the globe. While some agencies are planning to quietly steer travelers to other destinations, Washington, D.C.-based Green Earth Travel has publicly announced that it will encourage its clients not to visit St. Kitts until the veterinary school ends its cruel and deadly surgical procedures on animals. PETA has been urging Ross to join other veterinary schools and use only modern, humane teaching methods. Green Earth’s decision comes on the heels of Las Vegas-based high-end travel agency Holiday Systems International’s refusal to book holidays to St. Kitts for its more than 300,000 clients.
In a letter to PETA, Green Earth President Donna Zeigfinger says that because of the harmful and outdated surgeries that are performed on animals at Ross””and the St. Kitts government’s defense of them–she will urge her clients to vacation elsewhere. “We will only resume encouraging people to book their travel to St. Kitts once Ross University ends the needless suffering of animals by using humane veterinary teaching alternatives recommended by PETA,” she writes. Green Earth has also posted an alert about the alleged animal abuse at Ross University in its newsletter.
