I got something on my mind
Makes me sad and makes my cry - oh no
Johnny wanna live...
Just an ordinary day
An animal will pass away - oh no
Johnny wanna live...
Who´s to say he got no rights?
Even not a right to life?
Don´t know why it leaves you cold
Don´t know how to make it show - oh no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live...
Got to give his skin away,
For coats they wear on summer days - oh no
Johnny wanna live...
Beauty aid and all the rest
Come directly from a test - oh no
Johnny wanna live...
Through his eyes I look inside his heart
He can feel like me and you
Can´t defend himself
´cause he can´t talk
And this is why I talk to you...
Johnny isnt just a name
He stands for every creature´s pain - oh no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live...
Go and try to look inside his heart
You can find your own mistakes
Try to hide them thinking he can´t talk
But he can read them in your face...
Tell me why it leaves you cold
I swear, I´m gonna make it show - oh no
Johnny wanna live - oh no
Johnny wanna live...
Johnny wanna live...

In May 2009 there was good news. But not before 60,000
deaths.
Canadian fishermen killed
over 60,000 baby harp seals in 2009. But many stayed home, fearing that the European
Union would ban all seal product imports.
......on 10 August 2010, the European Court of Justice temporarily suspended
the European Union prohibition on seal product trade in response to an
application by certain Inuit and seal industry groups. The suspension will stay
in effect only while the Court considers whether to grant the applicants'
request for an injunction.
We must not rest until we end commercial seal
hunting forever.
Seals and the Seal Hunt in the News in 2012
In 2012, Canada faces mounting pressure to end the seal slaughter. Markets for
seal products are continuing to close, and Canada's stubborn promotion of
sealing in the face of climate change, which threatens the future of harp seals,
is making the country look more and more like an eco-terrorist state.
