I'm no scientist, naval minion, or court justice yet even I know this decision is very wrong no matter how many precautions the navy will implement to protect sea dwellers. Sound in water creates vibrations, cause and effect, of which will only be denied in the future for every whale that beaches itself, the lessening of pods, malnurished calves, or disappearing reef life. Get real, since 1970 we have faced the threat of environmental demise and little has been done to prevent that, as we see today. For shame on this decision!

For years the facts about the influence of Very LOW frequency Waves in the oceans on sea mamals have been known .Beached whales (lost whales leaders),they die and who cares,i do not know because i dont know anyboby who knows about this stuff.The media is working on other things and do not represent the whales in any way .When they will be gone the media wont matter in anyway , It will be to late for all of us earthly humans and every animals thrusted on us by god .Mercy on us for our sins of omission.Subs never did any good to anybody anyway ,prove me wrong if you can ,propaganda (security)experts.Ignorance is the mother of all sins and we will all pay for it in some way . Louis, Whale enthusiast in despair.

How we treat our fellow animals is indicative of how we treat our fellow humans. Need to ignore the needs and health of the poor and powerless to accomplish some military or political goal? No problem.

...at least there are five individuals who refuse to bow to unfounded pseudoscience. There is hope yet, for the world.
