.... Dude..... not cool....

Hello viewers!  AnonyMouse speaking.  Today, boys and girls, we are going to talk about more stuff people don't know much about.


We all know the Navy, right?  Protecting us via sea.  This is going to be a short post, as I don't have a lot to talk about in this topic.  It's disturbing on its own.  As some of us know:  whales, dolphins, and most fish rely on hearing and sonar to communicate and find food.


Humans cause injury to these animals with man-made sounds, such as sonar by a submarine or ship, airguns used in oil exploration, and even sonar weapons.  This can cause injury and even death to these animals.  One year, the year where the most animals have ever washed ashore before, was the year the navy tested out a new sonar weapon.  The whales that washed ashore had bleeding in and around the brain, were leaking blood from the ears, and had bubbles on their organs.


There is no question that sonar injures and kills whales and dolphins.
– Joel Reynolds, NRDC senior attorney


What happens to whales is similar to divers getting 'the bends'.  The Bends is what happens when a diver suddenly goes from deep underwater to the surface.  The pressure change can be too much for the body to handle. Things to make you say 'Mother of god...'


The whales end up changing their dicing patterns too drastically for their bodies to handle.
"Even the Navy estimates that increased sonar training will significantly harm marine mammals more than 10 million times during the next five years off the U.S. coast alone."
From 2014, this year, to 2019, the Navy plans on doing even more  tests that they themselves said would likely kill hundreds of dolphins and whales.  They even admitted to it!
