The US Navy 1, Whales 0.

Final Result. Referee Rules.

The US Supreme Court in its infinite wisdom has decided that warfare is more important that protecting species. Proving once again that killing trumps life for Homo Sapiens.

I still fail to see where Sapiens comes into this.

The US Supreme Court is lifting restrictions on the US Navy's use of sonar in training exercises off the California coast, a defeat for environmental groups who say the sonar can harm whales. The court, in its first decision of the term, voted 5-4 that it agreed with the plaintiffs that the US Navy needs to conduct realistic training exercises to respond to potential threats by enemy submarines.

This will have far reaching implications for all whales that migrate up and down both US coasts. Particularly vulnerable will be the Killer Whales in the Puget Sound Area.

Another Bush legacy. Thanks W.
