Oi Polloi je skotská punková kapela, která vznikla někdy na počátku 80tých let. Původně to byl skinheads-band s textama o chlastu, punks&skins unity, riots, ale už v týhle době měli taky pár písní o právech zvířat. Časem se jejich názory...
Once this magnificent animal swam freely in the seas
But now held captive for human greed.
A miserable "life" behind bars and concrete walls
No companion killer whales to hear its calls.
Yes. I'm sickened by what I've seen
And the mass Faroe Islands pilot whale slaughter is Obscene.
My eyes don't easily fill with the tears
But when I watched those whales scream and die
The tears ran freely from my eyes
To see them murded, hacked apart
Was like something tearing indide my heart
Yet one day such creatures might all swim free
Peaceful coexistence - no fear, no need to hide
Ourselves and whales together side by side
