LETTER : Have we forgotten Srebenica already?
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Christopher Catherwood
Sir: The recent coverage of the death of Jill Phipps reminds us how regrettable the trade of animals to the Continent has become, and how much the animals suffer.
But where are the brave Jill Phippses to protest against the slaughter of thousands of our fellow human beings in Bosnia? If the inhuman transport of veal calves is worth a protest, how much more so the dreadful carnage of Srebenica? Why are not today's young people demonstrating against the Serbs as their parents did against Vietnam or their grandparents against Franco's Spain? Surely that is a sad reflection on today's society, that suffering calves count for more than massacred Muslims.
Yours faithfully,
