A federal judge in California has ordered the US Navy to temporarily stop using sonar equipment because it might harm whales and other sea mammals.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5143698.stm I've seen many clashes between business and environmental interests, but I've never heard of environmentalists clashing with the military and actually winning. Is this a good thing? |

The best cans of tuna have little chunks of dolphin in them. I'd love to eat dolphin, but dolphins are "intelligent" and "cute" and therefore more worthy of our protection than cows, pigs or chickens.
Are submarines plowing through pods of dolphins? Or are they just in the same general area? I don't imagine the Navy is out trying to harpoon narwhals, Queequeg. The Navy has certain operating areas. You'll find that they're pretty close to naval bases. Forcing them to sail (potentially) hundreds of miles to exercise wastes their time, wastes your money, and forces them to train far from the bases their goal is to defend. Dude, did you even think before you spouted the standard talking points on environmental issues? ... and will you think about them now, or just ban me for challenging the sanctity of the administrator? |
