ENDANGERED WHALES LOSE IN FEDERAL COURT

WHALES

In a decision that left environmentalists upset. The court in California has lifted an injunction preventing the Navy from conducting sonar tests off the coast of CA. It is believed by the environmentalist that those tests are responsible for whole pods of certian whales to beach themselves, causing many to die. One of the judges said that since the US is involved in two wars, national security comes before the saefty of a few endangered whales.

It has never been proven that the SONAR causes the whales to beach themselves or wreak other havoc in the ocean. If SONAR was the root cause of the problem, wouldn't it stand to reason that since WWII that whales would have been beaching themselves en masse since then and would have caused a mass extinction of several species? The whole issue is based on junk science.
