Hi!
The nice end to the story is that the farmer came to see the exhibition
a year later, and then came up to me and apologised his behaviour.
If you'd like to see some of the images produced for that project,
there's an essay about the place on my website et http://www.oksne.net .
It's called "fnnoy". No pelt farms there, only a salmon pen.
Finally, I'd like to say that I'm not particularly in favour of pelt
farming. I just find the methods of the activists to be outright stupid.
This story has just a bit more of continuation... Back in 2004 we were
driving around (I couldn't remember now why we drove that very way)... I
saw a very nice scene and kindly asked Jostein to pull over so that I
can take some shots. Eventually Jostein had to warn me not to point my
camera in certain direction. After few questions and answers it became
apparent that what he just wrote here was the reason.
Here is the view:

Back to the topic of this thread...
I am reasonably certain that if we were to take a sample of those so
called "activist" and ask them to answer some honest questions honestly,
we would be very surprised.
I don't condone animal experiments but in some cases it saves lives,
even lives of the animals themselves... Say, the bird flu... Although of
course noone would care about the birds, only about bipeds...
