I saw 3 quite large crabs in a tent close to the place, where cruiseships will get their passangers ashore in Lifou. 2 of these crabs had been fixed by a rope (my 2nd picture) on the table inside the tent and another one was fixed on a rope outside in the open sun. I am sure that all the 3 of them had a lot of pain that way and the local people expected tourists to pay 1 Dollar for each photo.
I am afraid such cruelties will go on forever, except that tourists will totally give up to pay for such photos !!!

a charming island & millions of butterflies

 Lifou was one of the islands that I got to on a cruise onboard of the Dawn Princess. You will see millions of butterflies and it was very warm there with a gentle breeze most of the time.
