DU "Feelings" on sonar.
Am I the only person that has a hard time finding any facts in these statements?
Example: Sonar in the ---MHRZ range has been documented to cause a --- % increase in the whale beaching
I can't find any.

1. This just takes the cake!!!
How much more HORRIBLE can the US be? How many more crimes can we commit against humanity and the earth and its animals in merely ONE FISCALE QUARTER?!!!! To expand on what they did.....just think about a fish tank with simple goldfish or something. and how you are told not to even TAP on the glass because it disturbs the fish immeasurably. Then imagine booming sonic blasts?????? And think about what a sonic boom is. Remember when planes way back when would break the sound barrier? That's how powerful this crap is. Have mercy on the earth.....and then us. IN that order!

2. i agree
ransacking the earth and everything on it is not what being human is about---Respect is a keyword that is being ignored for the sake of fun and profit----There are serious consequences we as humans will experience as a result of destroying everything in the ocean , destroying numerous species of wildlife on land , bulldozing and burning rainforests --dumping in the air, land and water,----Isn't it obvious that all that is done, good and bad, has an impact on the future of this planet? How much intelligence is required to realize this?--not muchSo what does that tell you? Most people do realize and a great majority of them just don't really care enough to do anything about it.

3. As a kid we could see the whales feed off the rocks in Maine.
My father would call us and we would all stand in the sunroom and watch them feed. I grew up on the ocean front. I guess ir was as they were going or coming from the north. My kids could not see that. I am so sorry that we are killing off the great animals of the world.

4. Put the Navy Sonar team in a fishtank and BLAST THEM
That's what I say. I am sick of this kind of sh1t being perpetrated. Total disregard for marine life. Single-minded experimentation and use of technological "advances" with little regard to full environmental impact and consequences ... that's the real plague on this Earth. All those kind of engineers outta be jettisoned to some distant planet where they can play with machines and leave the organic Earth alone, before they screw it up any more.

5. i heard it on 710 kiro in seattle
Too bad we dont live in a world where submarines with sonar are not needed. I wish they could use something besides sonar. Has anyone heard of any developments to replace sonar?
