Hans Jacob Hermansen, nevndarlimur í Grindamannafelagnum og íðin verji av grindadrápi, hevur sent bræv til skotska sjónleikaran Ross McCall, ið sambært Sea Shepherd kemur at vitja Føroyar í næstum og stuðla teimum í teirra stíði móti grindadrápinum. Hesum boðar hann sjálvur frá á Facebook.
Í brævinum skrivar Hans Jacob Hermansen, at Ross McCall sjálvandi er vælkomin til Føroya, og Hans Jacob Hermansen vónar, at honum fer at dáma tær líka væl sum vit, ið búgva her, gera. Tó sigur hann seg eisini vóna, at Ross McCall fer at virða okkara søgu og mentan, eins og vit virða hansara søgu og mentan.
Hans Jacob Hermansen sigur seg vóna, at hann fær møguleikan at møta Ross McCall og greiða honum frá føroyskari søgu, mentan og øðrum lokalum evnum, ið sjónleikarin kanska hevur áhuga í. Hann væntar, at hetta kann vera neyðugt, við tað, at kunningin Ross McCall hevur fingið frá Sea Shepherd allarhelst er bæði sera avmarkað og litað av teirra sjónarmiði.
Hans Jacob Hermansen skrivar at enda, at tó at hugsanin hjá Ross McCall um grindadráp er hansara egna og sera privata avgerð, so vónar hann, at Ross McCall vil vísa honum tað virðing, at geva sær møguleikan at kunna hann um hesi evni, frá einum føroyskum sjónarmiði.
Her er brævið í heilum líki:
Dear Ross,
I understand that you plan to come to the Faroe Islands tomorrow as a supporter of the Sea Shepherd Grindstop 2014. You are more than welcome to visit our beautiful islands and I hope that will find them as exciting as we, the people of these islands, do. I also hope that you will respect our history and culture, as we respect you, your history, and your culture.
I presume that your knowledge about the islands may be fairly limited and biased, as your visit has been decided with very short notice, and the information is provided by the SS, so I offer to spend some time together with you to tell you about Faroese history and culture and other local topics that you might be interested in.
Your thoughts about pilot whaling in the Faroe Islands is your personal and very private decision, but we hope that you will show us that much respect that you will also give us the opportunity to inform you about this issue, while you are here, seen with the eyes of the Faroese people, who have lived - and survived - here for more than one thousand years.
Looking forward to your response,
Hans J. Hermansen, member of the Board of the Faroese Pilot Whaler's Association
