Navy admits hundreds of dolphins will die as a result of underwater explosives training over the next five years...but they don't plan to do anything about it

The East Coast, Hawaii, Southern California, and Gulf Coasts will all see hundreds of whale and dolphin deaths

The Navy also expects about 11,000 serious injuries to the creatures, as determined by a study submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service

Off the East Coast, there could be 11,267 serious injuries and 1.89 million minor injuries like temporary hearing loss. The reports said the testing and training might also cause marine mammals to change their behavior – such as swimming in a different direction – in 20 million instances.

Off Hawaii and Southern California, the reports said that the naval activities may cause 2,039 serious injuries, 1.86 million temporary injuries and 7.7 million instances of behavioral change.

But Michael Jasny, senior policy analyst at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said the Navy was underestimating the effect its activities on marine mammals.

‘These smaller disruptions short of death are themselves accumulating into something like death for species and death for populations,’ Jasny said.

Find another way to train. We have these big brains for a reason......not to ruin the rest of the world for every living thing. IMVHO, MOO, IMO blah, blah, blah. Yes, I understand the soldiers. There really has to be another way. Seriously.

If we kill everything on the planet training for and fighting wars, what is really going to be left to fight over anyway????

:trainwreck:

A penny wise and a pound foolish.

It's disgusting!

Solent Green comes to mind.

We seem intent on killing everything, human or non, with our weapons...
