His Holiness supports the Sea Shepherds?

I was surfing around on the Sea Shepherds website and found a letter from 1998 from His Holiness the Dalai Lama in support of what they are doing.

Anyone who watches Whales Wars on Animal Planet knows who the Sea Shepherds are. For those who don’t, The Sea Shepherds are an all volunteer organization led by Captain Paul Watson. The show follows the Sea Shepherds on various missions to try and protect whales, in whale sanctuaries, from whaling forces such as the Japanese Whaling Fleet. The Sea Shepherds approach is always non-violent, can’t say the same for the whalers though. If you haven’t watched the show, you should check it out Friday nights, I watch it all the time!
