Aux îles Feroes, le sport national doit être...le massacre de baleines!
Pour lutter contre, voici une lettre à envoyer au premier ministre des îles Feroes.
(les ïles Feroes sont situéees dans l'océan Atlantique à mi-chemn entre la Norvège et l'Islande.)
(En fait, vous en verrez deux, mais c'est normal: dans cette action qu'elle a lancée, Slavica Mazac Beslic reprends une autre lettre, écrite par Diana Hartig, une allemande qui proteste contre ce massacre. Elle la cite avec la mention "je souscris entièrement au contenu de cette lettre"). Il faut donc tout envoyer jusqu'à "fin de la lettre (à ne pas mettre dans votre envoi, bien sûr ) en pensant à mettre vos noms, ville et pays!
Voici la lettre:

Onderwerp: Shocking Whale Massacre on Faroe Islands

Dear Sir,
I would ask you to view the following images. They depict the grisly – and as I understand – annual slaughter of pilot whales on the coast of the autonomous region of Dinamarca.
We in Europe get so upset about the massacre of dolphins the Japanese revel in each year – when under our very nose the same happens practically on our doorstep.
I once saw a documentary about the Faroers and the not-EU conforming slaughter (throat cut without prior stunning) of sheep, and residents of the community documented expressed their relief at not being part of the EU .. because that would mean they could no longer perform this particular type of slaughter legally – which, after all, they see as a tradition … naturally one, like so many traditions - and this whale massacre is no exception there – it is nothing the animals in question would miss if it were given up – at long last in the "enlightened" 21st century (which some apparently still confuse with the Middle Ages).
I cannot stress strongly enough the absolute barbarity of this "hunt".
It's mere existence, that is, the fact that it is accepted and obviously permitted by yourself and your government, constitutes a very ugly smirch on the Faroers as a whole.
Needless to say really – this does not motivate me to ever visit the Faroers – I would not willingly invest into the next such show of low and wholly unacceptable Human behaviour towards ultimately defenseless animals.
It is disgusting in the extreme.
I call upon you to end it.
Sincerely,
Diana Hartig

Quelqes images éloquentes pour finir (je ne vous incite pas à les mettre dans la lettre, car il se pourrait qu'ils se méfient des pièces jointes et les éliminent comme spam ou virus):
