Warmonger and Other Pinhead Alert!!!

They are back at it again. The Navy plans to deploy a powerful sonar system that harms whales and other sea animals up to 300 miles away... and plans to use it in over 70% of the world's oceans.

The courts have already blocked global deployment of this deadly sonar system. Since then, the Navy's training with this LFA sonar has been limited to one remote area.

But now the National Marine Fisheries Service is once again giving the Navy a permit and only allowing a few days for public comment. The opportunity for comment is nearly up.

Click the following link, it has a form letter you can send. Send it as is, or make changes to it but PLEASE do it... take a couple minutes and send it.

I'm trying again in hopes that the daytime crowd cares more about this than the night crew. Last night my post about this issue dropped like a stone. It was so disappointing to see that dancing on Tammy Fay's grave was way more important than the world's ocean life.

1. Done. What really makes me angry is that people (i.e. the press,

some scientists, ignorant people) pretend that they don't have a clue why whales beach themselves. Underwater sonar is never mentioned.

2. Done. Thank you.

The US military is the largest single polluter on the planet. Everywhere they go, they destroy the environment, often beyond repair. Not to mention the current contributions to global warming and cancers!

Enough, already, people.
