New Zealand declares Feb 15 National Lamb Day to honour 60 million sheep Published: Friday, January 26, 2007 | 12:44 AM ET Canadian Press WELLINGTON, N.Z. (AP) - New Zealanders' love affair with sheep gained official recognition Friday when the agriculture minister declared Feb. 15 "National Lamb Day." New Zealand has four million human inhabitants and 60 million sheep. Agriculture Minister Jim Anderton suggested New Zealanders have no reason to be embarrassed about their sheep population and said Lamb Day would mark the 125th anniversary of the first shipment of frozen meat from New Zealand to London. "We hope all New Zealanders will recognize this meat industry milestone and mark it by enjoying lamb for dinner on Feb. 15, to celebrate 125 years of meat exports," Anderton said. © The Canadian Press, 2007 :thump: |
