The whale has swam the ocean since the dawn of time
If now the seas are red with blood then how is the crime
Save the whale that has a right to live and breed
Stop the men in the whaling boats who kill for greed
The hunter has no consciense as he raged the sea
The victim has no friend, only you and me
If we raise our voices we can right the wrong
Let the world join together now and sing our song
The earth in all its beauty is for all to share
For people and the animals everywhere
We say no to needless death by gun or knife
Every whale in the waters has a right to life
We say no to needless death by gun or knife
Every whale in the waters has a right to life
We must realize that if we destroy the whale
We will destroy part of ourselves
If we don't stop the slaughter now
Tomorrow will be too late
Tomorrow the largest living thing on earth
Will be lost forever and we shall all be guilty
The earth in all its beauty is for all to share
For people and the animals everywhere
We say no to needless death by gun or knife
Every whale in the waters has a right to life
We say no to needless death by gun or knife
Every whale in the waters has a right to life
When I was in New Zealand in 2005, I had the chance to see whales. The Maori guide on the boat told us all about the three whales we saw. They were sperm-whales. It was quite an exciting experience to see such enormous creatures.
Many years ago we were already members of World Wildlife Fund. We bought a record with Kamahl singing the song of "Save the Whale".
The Sperm-Whale is as big as a Boeing 737
The contents of his head is so big that it can contain an adult male elephant,
his heart is as big as a small car.
He is 18 meters long.
He feeds on giant octopuses

A wonderful post, Wil! And I do so agree with you regarding the whales, it is heartbreaking to see and hear of so many being hunted and killed! Thank you for sharing! Hope you have a great week!
We see orcas off the coast here and I've seen grey whales off the coast of Cape Cod. They are truly amazing creatures and need our help to survive from those who want to harm them.
Lucky you to have seen the whales when you were in New Zealand Wil. I have yet to see any whales but I sure hope to during my future travels - they are magnificent creatures. Cheers, Susan
Great post, Wil - we have a nephew, Dr. Fred Sharpe, who is very involved in researching whales, their habitat and their conservation. Well, conversations too...
It is one of the most wonderous things to see whales swimming in the oceans - we are lucky living here in Australia to be able to whale watch. Great W post. Wren x
Interesting and touching post about the Whale, such enormous creatures too, yet so elegant. It's a pity they don't turn over the wicked hunters boats.... that would soon teach them!
Beautiful post. Whales are marvelous. I've always wanted to witness a whale, but I live in a landlocked state. Spent some time on Guam, but never saw a wild whale. Something I need to do in my life.
We have seen several whales up here in Alaska where we are traveling, but not yet well enough to get pictures. I so agree with everything you say about their being hunted WE should all know better by now.

Whales are some of my first experiences of feeling awed for the first time when I was little. Huge! Wonderful and beautiful mammals.

Wonderful post and video! I really hope people stop hurting these amazing animals, I want my great grandchildren to see them.

Glad you saw our whale. And I hope they will stop the Japanese from killing them.
