Our government admits wrong about anything?
The Navy has admitted its training exercises are
killing or harming more marine mammals than previously acknowledged
While reading throughout the internet it would seem
that it is now too late for this court case, the whales over on the west coast
may now be going by the wayside thanks to my navy!!!! :-(
However, there will be many more court cases, you can
bet on it! :-)
The training exercises occur in waters off the coasts
of California, Oregon, and Washington...including within a designated National
Marine Sanctuary, and threaten six endangered whale species, including blue,
fin, humpback, sei, sperm, and, the last 84 southern resident orca whales.
And last year the Navy admitted its training exercises
are harming more marine mammals than they previously acknowledged.
These endangered 84 orca whales are already perilously
close to extinction, and the mid-frequency sonar, surface-to-air gunnery,
missile exercises, and underwater explosions used in the training expose these
rare whales to potentially fatal stress.
Military training is important to our national
security—but it can and should be conducted in a manner that prevents harm to
endangered wildlife. And there are other, less-sensitive habitat areas where
this training can be conducted.
In the past, the Navy’s mid-frequency sonar has been
implicated in mass standings' of marine mammals including a mass beaching of
nearly 200 melon-headed whales in Hanalei Bay in Hawaii.
We cannot afford for this to happen again, especially
in a designated marine sanctuary that is home to so many endangered and
threatened species.
Groups like this one (Earthjustice) need our help in a
battle to help save our endangered wild life, if you can, please think about a
donation to them, thank you and Creator blessings ~ GOD BLESS!
