Dear
Mr. Premier Henoksen:
We, at the Canadian Voice For Animals, Argentina Chapter, have just
received terrible news and shocking images of the treatment of sled
dogs in Greenland. We have also been informed about the despicable
conditions in which these poor animals live, e.g., seldom do they
have water, fed but once a week; tortured and exposed to freezing
temperatures among other things. All this, despite the fact that as
far as we know, your country has laws to prevent such
cruelty.
We have also heard from other concerned people who have already
contacted your offices and received the poor excuse that "your
government is opposed to this". This response is not
enough; if you have laws they must be enforced. Mr Henoksen, as the
head of your country you have the fate of these poor animals in
your hands and the world is looking at you. We urge you to put a
stop to this immediately and take all the necessary measures to
enforce your laws. We are forwarding this e-mail to the Greenlandic
media, Danish embassies all over the world, tourism offices and all
our contacts throughout the world.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your concern about the treatment of sledge dogs in
Greenland.
Sledge dogs are an important part of Greenland’s cultural heritage.
It is therefore of the utmost importance to stress that the abuse
referred to in the Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet
on 5
February 2007 is illegal under Greenland legislation on animal
protection and keeping sledge dogs. Greenland Home Rule condemns
all forms of abuse of sled dogs.
The act on animal protection entered into force in 2003, to
protect, amongst others, sledge dogs. Furthermore, since 1998 an
act on keeping sledge dogs has been in force.
The sledge dog district spans from Sisimiut in the South to Qaanaaq
in the North and includes East Greenland. Currently, two veterinary
officers have the entire sledge dog district as their working area,
and they are doing what they can to assist and guide dog
owners.
A map of Greenland reveals the scope of this vast district and the
limited possibilities to check up on dog owners to ensure that all
dogs are being cared for properly. The veterinary officers deal
with all reports on neglect of dogs and make visits as much as
possible.
The Government of Greenland will be kept up-to-date on the case in
question and will subsequently take a position on what is to be
done in the matter.
For more information on animal protection and keeping sledge dogs
see the Greenland Home Rule Parliament Act no. 18 of 30 October
1998 on sledge dogs and keeping dogs and cats, as well as the
Greenland Home Rule Parliament Act no. 25 of 18 December 2003 on
animal protection on www.nanoq.gl (only available in Danish and
Greenlandic).
On behalf of Greenland Home Rule Government
Sincearly,

Dear
Mr Kleist,
We have received your
response related to the issue of the Greenland Sled Dogs. According
to your e-mail your government is opposed to these barbaric and
sadistic practices but apparently the inhabitants of Greenland are
not aware of this. The world is looking at your country and it is
not enough that you tell us that two veterinarians are checking
21,000 dogs as you have informed us. You use the word "guide" dog
owners but those individuals do not need to be guided they need to
serve a long time in prision for abusing those magnificent and
loving animals. We are talking about the twenty-first century and
not about the twelfth century or is it that the entire
population of Greeland is illiterate and live in the Dark
Ages????.
In your e-mail, Mr Kleist you
say that you have laws banning this type of misconduct since 2003,
it´s 2006 and you have not been able to solve this problems yet,
this is more than enough for those poor animals who have been
neglected not only by the people but due to the ineptitude of a
government and the lack of skills to manage a situation that has
gone too far.
As we have stated in our previous e-mail and in
the worldwide petition we have launched this weekend, the world is
getting to know Greenland and not precisely for its natural
beauties but for the despicable treatment of man´s best
friend.
Yours truly,
Professor Myrta Montiel
