A small victory

The Supreme Court recently ruled that it is OK for the Navy to use ultra-low frequency sonar even though it may harm/kill small numbers of marine mammals such as dolphins and whales. This type of sonar is basically the only defense against diesel-electric submarines, which our favorite dictators in North Korea and Iran seem to have gotten their hands on.

Viros have been clamoring to ban the Navy's use of sonar for training exercises because apparently to them the chance of killing a handful of whales takes priority over the chance of having a nuke launched at Los Angeles from several miles off shore.

I am glad to see that for once the U.S. has put human rights and the safety of civilians before the rights of animals.

As if animals had rights. But yes I agree, this is a small victory in the sense that something right was done. Unfortunately that's about it.

I too am sad when animals have to die needlessly, but humans come first. So protecting us is more important than weeping over a few mammals that might die in order to make our lives more safe.

Same old story with the irrational Viros that emote otherwise.
