||| FROM THE AMERICAN MILITARY NEWS |||
With the arrival of summer, rumored orca attacks on vessels navigating the Strait of Gibraltar generated concern, prompting questions regarding how the U.S. Navy responds to increased whale attacks.
According to Military Times, while reports of these majestic marine mammals causing damage and even sinking boats have led to rising concerns, the U.S. Navy’s standpoint remains steadfast: combat with these creatures is off the table.
Lt. Andrew Bertucci, from the Navy Office of Information, recently clarified the Navy’s approach, “The U.S. Navy is committed to the protection of marine mammals and the marine environment. The Navy implements mitigation procedures, developed in conjunction with the National Marine Fisheries Service, during training and testing activities to identify the presence of marine mammals near vessels and respond appropriately to avoid effects.”

Hmmmm…. d’ya THINK these attacks may have something to do with whaling, harpooning, putting torpedos on cetaceans, blasting their eadrdums bloody with underwater explosive and sonar weaponry testing, and the like? Maybe they’re FED UP with how heinously their kind and other cetaceans have been treated. Maybe they’re sick of being harassed and chased as a tourism spectacle. The military has mis-used and abused cetaceans for a long, long time. Payback’s a bitch.
Whoopeee… more MALinformation, MISinformation, and DISinformation – generated by elitist control freaks and AI – I didn’t and won’t even read the article, I’m so disgusted. This is the future we have to look forward to with AI. We’d darn well better prepare now. For those who think it can’t get out of control or be used for nefarious purposes, have fun with you kool aid.
I have no sympathy in my heart for the humans doing these things to whales and cetaceans. I’m rooting for the whales.
