Save Ocean Life! Stop Navy Testing!

"United States Navy's plan to deploy a low-frequency active (LFA) sonar system that would target as much as 80 percent of the world's oceans with sound waves that, when initially emitted from Navy vessels, are millions of times more intense than are considered safe for humans. According to reports, the Navy acknowledged that its recent use of intense mid-frequency sonar off the coast of the Bahamas was responsible for the mass beaching of whales from several different species.
One of the species that beached in the Bahamas has virtually disappeared from the area. Some scientists believe that these whales may have bled to death and sunk to the bottom of the sea. Necropsies of the whales showed that the sonar tests caused hemorrhages in the whales' ears. The Navy's own study concluded that their sonar tests were likely the cause of the whales' injuries and their subsequent beaching.
To operate its new low-frequency system, the Navy has requested a waiver of the Marine Mammal Protection Act that prohibits the harassment, injuring or killing of marine mammals. The National Marine Fisheries Service is currently reviewing the Navy's request and is expected to reach a decision by fall of this year."
Note: This is from an interview... we need to stop what the Navy is going to do to our ocean life. Stop them now... petition everyone that you can think of... we can start here... but we need to go further than that!

I am proud to say that I am the result of Navy Testing. I can now type this message whereas before I could not because my flippers got in the way. I am proud to say that I am no longer an ignorant whale. GO NAVY!!! (P.S. The brine I ate daily sucked, too.

I think that this crap needs to stop. Man has destroyed enough of our planet as it is. Why do they have to go and destroy our oceans and marine life too?? What did it ever do to us? Nothing. So why mess with it?

Shame should fall heavily on the Navy as they should be setting a positive example to our nation instead of adding to Earth's problems!
