I still get mailings from them from time to time begging me to renew. Sometimes, they have cool wildlife stickers which I give to my grandson. Most of the time, they give a shrill pitch for money.
This is one of the most shrill pitches. Who knew that whales were incapable of swimming away from seismic testing? Next to dolphins, aren't they supposed to be one of the most intelligent creatures in the sea?
My hearing must be slipping too. Last time I heard seismic testing, it sounded a lot more like a greatly muffled sonic boom or a gunshot with a silencer than a jet engine.
Or maybe Mr. Brune just has to get out of San Fransicko a little more often?
Arctic steak ,yum
Is there an interest group for the endangered white race, already a global minority? Now that, I’ll join.
Maybe we can get the whales some hearing aids. Maybe the whales should go swim some where else than next to the pump. It’s a big ocean out there.
Petroleum ruined the whale oil industry.
Brune grew up in Chadwick Beach, New Jersey, and went to school in nearby Toms River. He graduated in 1993 from West Chester University, Pennsylvania, with dual B.S. degrees...
ahaha B.S. Degrees never fit anyone any better!!!
he actually lives in nearby Alameda CA....not in Scam Francrisco oddly enough
All the more reason we need to drill for oil, what with the loss of blubber and all.
The Sierra Club knows how so many donors love animals so painting images of mean, greedy oil companies building oil wells in the Arctic that kills innocent whales or in the Arctic lands to displace caribou and polar bears from their natural homes tugs at the heart strings. It’s a means of getting money and staying relevant in environmental policy decisions.
Fine, stop driving or traveling using fossil fuels. Put your money where your mouth is.
Yeah, but does whale meat taste good?
So they mount devices on whales? I suspect that sound dissipates with the square of the distance so the farther away from a transmitter the less the sound.
cool! Let’s quit using oil and go back to the preceeding technology for providing light at night. You know, burning whale blubber!
Idiots like this author forget that oil is what saved the whales!
Nothing like all the racket of WWII.
greenie earth firsters are killing birds
]]Windmills Killing Endangered Birds]]
[[It took a while, but 440,000 eagle, hawk, falcon, crane, egret, goose, and other bird corpses finally made a pile so large that even the... administration could no longer ignore the stink.]]

it’s funny how it’s against the law for citizens to kill eagles and endangered birds, but our government and state officials are apparently above the law and readily kill endangered birds and eagles with impunity
Funny you should say that...I used to work at a major aquarium which hosted a Right Whale research department. The sad fact of the matter is that these poor creatures are dumb as stumps. The main causes of their near extinction are 1) entanglement in fishing lines and 2) ship collisions. They simply don't know enough to swim away from the danger. There is no instinct to move away from a threat. It's tragic but at the same time you have to throw up your hands and say "What can you do? Darwin is proving his point here."
