there is another whaling song (anti whaling) which goes..Its muffled boom the cruel harpoon that blast their lives apart.. Song of the Humpback whale. Everytime you buy something made in Japan, think what they are doing to the whales. Whale steak sells for $400.00 a pound in Japan, and, the scraps are made into dog food. They are killing thousands every year in the name of research. This is clearly a violation of the Whaling act, and, the Marine Mammals protection act. We have the right, under the MMPA, to put sanctions on Japan, but, our candy ass politicians wont do it.The great blue whale, the largest creature that ever lived, is doomed to extinction with an estimated 200 left in the world.
