In some respects the life of a censor is more exhilarating that of an emperor. The best the emperor can do is to snip off the heads of men and women, who are mere mortals. The censor can decapitate ideas which but for him might have lived forever.

The Humane Society of the United States is very pleased that Mississippi lawmakers have taken this important step to stop an egregious trophy hunting practice that amounts to nothing more than pay-per-view slaughter. Responsible hunters know there's no sport in shooting an animal remotely while lying in bed and wearing camouflage pajamas. We urge Governor Barbour to sign this bill into law now and snuff out this snuff film scenario.

This has not been an easy decision for Emperor to make, particularly knowing the impact this will have on the community at large. Despite rising gold price, rises in the costs of other inputs, especially oil, which comprises nearly 30 percent of the cost base at the mine, has meant that we have to become more efficient. Emperor Gold Mines is the largest private employer in Fiji and has made substantial investments in the country but requires greater operational flexibility in order to secure a better and longer future for the mine.
