Recently, an unusual and unprecedented beaching of dolphins occurred in the UK. News sources are stating that it was Britain's largest beaching in 25 years. A possible and allegedly likely cause for the stranding of dozens of dolphins at the Cornish Creek, are sonar exercises conducted by the Royal Navy. It is highly possible that the dolphins became disoriented by the sonar sounds, and took to the shores.Although the Ministry of Defence cops to performing the sea life-hazardous exercises at the time of the beaching, they are denying that the dolphins were affected by their activities. This denial comes amidst the fact that scientists and environmentalists have been expounding on the adverse effects such military exercises have on sea life.
The above video, is proof that the military of certain countries have been aware that their sonar activities can be deadly to dolphins and whales. It is reasonably suggested that the military conduct their exercises in an environment that would cause less destruction to innocent animals.
[SIDEBAR: If we don't stop taking the environment and other forms of life for granted, the repercussions will not be slight.]
