When will we be safe enough? When the sonars that monitor the oceans have destroyed the well-being of much marine life? Are we such a self-centered species that our military success is paramount? Even above some mammal's survival?
The Bush administration's support of the Navy's use of low-frequency sonar, set to be deployed as of Nov. 1, marks the demise of many aquatic species. What we don't seem to realize is that the peril in which we put so many creatures is only the beginning ... our destruction will finally be our own.
It's unfortunate that we have to bring down the ecosystem with us. Does anyone care? Or are we all comfortable in our cozy little bubbles? Do something, or beware the pop!
