Tell the US Navy and the Big Oil Companies to Stop Operating Harmful Acoustic Devices Near Whales and Dolphins

Each year hundreds of whales and dolphins wash up on the world's beaches either dead or dying but the cause of death is unknown. The bodies of these dead whales and dolphins are horribly bruised and beaten but mysteriously no bones inside the whales and dolphins are broken. So what killed these whales and dolphins? The answer might be Navy Sonar exercises. Several of these exercises and their deadly aftermath have been recorded. Here is a brief list.


Bahamas – March 2000

Canary Islands – November 1988, October 1989, December 1991, September 2002, July 2004

Washington State – May 2003

North Carolina – January 2005

Japan – Ten Stranding's Since 1960

Greece – May 1996

US Virgin Islands – October 1999

Brazil – June-October 2002

But it isn't just the Navy hurting whales and dolphins with sound.

Up in Alaska Shell Oil uses compressed air guns to search for oil beneath the sea floor. This practice kills whales and dolphins and is just as damaging as the low frequency sonar used by the Navy. So sign this petition and tell the US Navy and Shell Oil to quit there deadly acoustic practices!
