The team discovered 300-500 baby terns, some only a day old, dead in the surf

the Coast Guard also responded and are trying to determine if the baby birds

The song “Don’t Be Cruel” has been rewritten with the lyrics:
Don’t Be Cruel – to Whales You know I won’t be found,
Swimming in the deep blue sea, The Japanese are coming
‘round, They’re going to harpoon me. Don't be cruel to a whale that's
true.
Baby, it makes me sad My blubber’s not so tasty Why treat whales so
bad? To risk extinction is crazy Don't be cruel… To a whale that's
true.

Commission (IWC) in 1986, the government of Japan continues to hunt more than
1,000 whales a year as part of what it calls its government-run “scientific”
whaling program. While the IWC has condemned Japan’s whaling practices, a
loophole in its policy allows for lethal whale research. Japan sells the meat
from its whaling operations to commercial restaurants and fish markets.

let’s see how things go for the rest of the week.
