Hi mr Psihoyos.

First of all, an immensely huge thank you for your continuous work. I'm a marine biologist in the making (fourth year of university), and this is something that keeps my fires burning. I saw The Cove back in 2010 and since then I have been raising awareness everywhere I go. I have two questions I really hope gets answered (and not buried, as many of my raise awareness posts have been).

First, do you believe that the Japanese (and other people that slaughter cetaceans) will ever stop this practice, and what needs to happen to make them stop?

Second; here in Scandinavia (I'm from Sweden) there are quite a number of activists. However only after four years of raising awareness, did I actually encounter them (other activists I've met have been exchange students). They seem to be a very silent group. I want to change this, but I don't know how except ask for your assistance. Is there any chance that you and Ric O'Barry could come here for a screening/seminar session? Obviously, there is an interest to raise awareness of the matter, but it's awfully quiet. What's more disturbing is that many people still go to dolphin shows here, and actually rejoice somewhat whenever a dolphin is born in captivity...

Your work is very much appreciated, so please continue!

A million thanks for your reply! I'll get in touch with you ASAP, my activist nerves are tingling. Thank you! And I'm sure we'll meet in the future, no need to worry about past happenings - we've got work to do :)
