This is Not a defeat for the environment this is horrible tragedy for WHALES! If humans harm other humans with violence we don’t say that is a defeat for the environment. The same shallow thinking that goes into claiming a defeat for the environment when living individuals will be harmed is the same type of thinking that causes this cruelty to take place…. in the first place.

This is just dis-gust-ing.  We are putting fear in place of compassion.  This is on a par with the navy using dolphins as part of the war effort.  Thankfully Obama may have some input into these conservative, pro-war “supreme” court curmudgeons.  Whales are the most magnificent animals on this whole planet—and that includes humans. 
This is worse than a shame—it is a SIN.

The Navy has consistently denied that sonar use is linked to whale deaths.  But the problem is that no one’s asking the right question.  The right question is “Does super-cavitation cause whale deaths?”  The answer is hell yes. It causes a whole lot more than that.  Super-cavitation is a scary WMD.  If you have any doubts, ask yourself “if they had it would they use it?”  Think atomic bomb.

Obama can end the sonar testing on Jan. 20.

Will he?

It seems to me the ‘progressives’ should be making a list of things Obama should do and when, and planning what to do if he doesn’t.
