One of the unique things about Southern Greenland is the warm weather. It makes it possible for farmers to have agriculture, which is not possible anywhere else in Greenland. Chris Papis is one of these farmers. He has 300 sheep and lives 15 kilometers away from Kvanefjeld in a small house with his girlfriend Malou Møller. He is only 24 years old, which makes him the youngest sheep keeper in Greenland. He says that if the mine becomes a reality, he will kill all of his 300 sheep, and move long away from Southern Greenland. His biggest fear is the dust that will come from the uranium. He says it will travel to his place with the winds, and kill the grass and make his sheep sick. Therefore he sees no other way out than killing all of his Sheep if the mine will come.
