Why oh why

(J. Veerman/J. Keizer/J. Tuijp)

This is the news. Whale hunting is to begin again, the Japanese government has just announced. In a first move more than 5,000 whales will be harpooned each year. The killing will start again.........

Gently she cries, graceful and strong
The whale, the ruler of the sea
The greatest on earth, since time began
So much glory, so much majesty

We have no right, to take their lives
It's useless killing, a crime by humankind

Why, oh why do we kill, kill the whale
Stop, stop right now, in the name of mankind
Before it is too late

Harmless she moves, she's not aware of the guns
And the raiders of the sea
For money, they kill; wipe out a legend
The greatest, since living memory

We have no right, to take their lives
It's useless killing, a crime by humankind

Why, oh why do we kill, kill the whale
(We kill the whale, we kill the whale, no we don't, think twice, before it is too late)
Stop, stop right now, in the name of mankind
(We kill the whale, we kill the whale, in the name)

Why, oh why do we kill, kill the whale
(We kill the whale, we kill the whale, no we don't, think twice, before it is too late)
Stop, stop right now, in the name of mankind
(We kill the whale, we kill the whale, in the name)
Before it is too late

.........release say vow to fight the Japanese move with everything that it have. Cities around the world have already seen thousands taken into the streets in protest.
