Navy distances itself from whale beaching

<snip>

"It's well known and quite well established that naval exercises using mid frequency or low frequency sonar do have a negative impact on whales, killing them in some cases, and also disrupting their ability to navigate," she said.

Scientists are taking samples from the carcasses in an attempt to find out why the whales beached.

Jenni Burdon from the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service says the appearance of naval ships in the bay has raised suspicions.

1. They know damn well sonar KILLS! Same area mass beachings before Tsunami
near Sumatra. The navy does not give a damn how many intelligent, innocent, beautiful living beings are murdered. Very, very, very horrible.

There is absolutely a way to prove if sonar lead to the beaching/death---when they do the neocropsies...their will be severe damage internally, and there are scientists that know what this looks like, as it explodes their organs and inner ears.

Disgusting that they just continue killing. It should count as murder, and for every death, yet another count, because that is what it is.

2. I agree. We SHOULD be concerned with ALL living things...
especially those "culture of life" people who don't care at all about destroying plants and animals if it makes them money.

What about Christian stewardship?

This is murder.
