Poor creature. I don't know much about whales and stuff, but i feel like there's too few of them in this planet, and this killing done in Japan every year is so scary and sad. I just hope something is done before they become extinct. Pete, this is a GREAT poem. A really really nice. Everyone should read it. Peace.

I agree that this is a sterling tribute to the protagonist of your poem, Peter. The language you use is elegant and moving. One thing though: can we criticize people, wherever they're from, for killing whales for food (whether for humans or for other animals) while we kill sheep, cows, and tuna fish for exactly the same? Regards, Gina.
