Planned US Navy tests to harm 130,000 + dolphins and whales

[system]

In the Navy’s latest environmental impactstatement draft, they admit that the sonar exercises planned for 2014-2018 may unintentionally “harm marine mammals 2.8 million times over five years.” This estimate is up about 150,000 instances a year from their EIS statement of 2009-2013. Included in this estimate are two million incidents of “temporary hearing loss,” and 2,000 are targeted for permanent hearing loss.

Killing with sound

In the name of ‘national security’.

No love for Dolphins? Fascinating creatures along with the Sea Lions.

I love animals, they are delicious!

I like dolphins, more than what is likely a useless waste of taxpayer money.

Clearly, this was orchestrated to help the Buffalo Bills in their 2013 season.

The Government did a study that frowns upon a different part of the Government…hmm I’ve never seen that before
