Limit The Navy's Use of Sonar
Target:
General
Sponsored by:
The Supreme Court has lifted the restrictions on the use of Navy sonar. This sonar temporaily deafens the whales, resulting in massive disorientation and strandings.
Whales hit by such sonar appear agitated and confused, and attempt to lift their heads above the water to end the torment. The sonar can also cause whales to surface too quickly, resulting in decompression sickness. The CAT scans of two whale corpses showed hemorrhaging in the brain.
Navy excerises used to be carried on offshare in deep waters. Instead, many are now carried out over underwater canyons, which beaked whales prefer as habitats. If this goes on, whales will continue to die.

We, the undersigned, protest the use of sonar by the Navy and would like to see it banned or limited to reduce the number of whale strandings. Each person who signs this petition is helping to make a difference and is greatly appreciated.
We signed the "Limit The Navy's Use of Sonar" petition!

I'm a vegan, and feel compassionate towards all living beings. However, the whales being brutally tortured by these sounds is what hurts me the most. I can't bare to even imagine having no escape and desperately trying to find a way out. This is serious, horrific torture. I can't believe some humans can't comprehend the fact that this is so utterly wrong. I truly hope humans being the cruelest species to walk the planet becomes a thing of the past, because we have such capacity to heal, love, transcend, and care for all that surrounds us. These whales are incredible creatures, and the world would not be the same without them.

There is no reason navy exercises cannot continue be carried out in deep water where minimal disruption is caused to whales.

When you can do use it in places unhabited by whales why use it close to where whales live? why cause them unnecessary pain and play a part in their killing?

This is a worthy cause, please get your friends and family to sign! Another worthy cause :- The Venus Project is an Organisation that proposes a feasable plan of action for social change; one that works towards a peacful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines to strive toward where human rights are not only paper proclaimations but also a way of life. A world whe Mother Nature and Technology work together, not as two opposing forces. Where Resources and Science are choices over Profit and Power. Please look up the website http://www.thevenusproject.com/ and sign the petition. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/The-future-that-Humanity-Deserves

I thought this had been settled some time ago and a ban set on using sonar because it injures and kills the whales. Please DO NOT RESUME USING SONAR.

The Navy could be employed to train sportsmen and women for championship sail races and train explorers. There are many things they could do for money so if there was no more need for war training there would still be lots for them to do without causing harm to these beautiful whales.
