Since 1948 since they’ve had home rule<\/p>\n
they have taken on the responsibility<\/p>\n
the “grindadrap” or hunt for<\/p>\n
long finned pilot whales<\/p>\n
driven to the shore line rapidly<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the islands are<\/p>\n
out in the North Atlantic<\/p>\n
its all about their culture<\/p>\n
now we know<\/p>\n
even their authorities have warned<\/p>\n
them of the mercury<\/p>\n
the figures in these whales<\/p>\n
does grow and grow<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
we can say that the meat should not be eaten<\/p>\n
Minamata might now raise its head<\/p>\n
Japan has suffered one bout<\/p>\n
which killed \u00a0a lot of children<\/p>\n
the percentages mean<\/p>\n
there is now no doubt<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
what we might have safely done<\/p>\n
some time ago<\/p>\n
is not what we can safely do today<\/p>\n
culture is an ass if it is blindly carried through<\/p>\n
making victims and consumers pay<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the way the whales are killed<\/p>\n
is pretty dreadful they use a whale knife<\/p>\n
to cut through the spine<\/p>\n
this cuts the main arteries<\/p>\n
of every single whale<\/p>\n
and it becomes a blood bath<\/p>\n
done the line<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
blood and gore<\/p>\n
they swim in it its awful<\/p>\n
nothing could be worse<\/p>\n
for us to see<\/p>\n
the motion of the waves<\/p>\n
create a creaming of the surf<\/p>\n
and blood and gore and snot<\/p>\n
and guts it be<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
everywhere its like some<\/p>\n
awful battle field<\/p>\n
The Faroese authorities<\/p>\n
they say<\/p>\n
despite the toxins<\/p>\n
its about tradition<\/p>\n
clearly they lost some thought<\/p>\n
along the way<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
anyone can join in with the slaughter<\/p>\n
hooks and ropes and poles<\/p>\n
are all they use<\/p>\n
the whaling knife will end the life<\/p>\n
its mayhem there alas<\/p>\n
its wickedness to do this<\/p>\n
to create a vile morass<\/p>\n
out of what is pristine coastline<\/p>\n
and a natural sea<\/p>\n
to turn it into a grave of blood<\/p>\n
well it sickens me<\/p>\n
