Nearly everything the eco-fascists claim is junk science.

How do we know this equipment is dangerous to whales? I assume that whales can swin, and they can move away from irritating noise.

Besides, the eco-fascists should bear the burden of proof in court that whales are harmed.

And since when are whales more important than 300 million Americans and their security?

We should get the Wisconsin out of mothballs, sail to Frisco and open fire on the Sierra Club watermelons, followed by a Marine amphibious landing.

The "irritating noise" physically destroys the hearing membranes very quickly, sort of like how an extremely loud noise right next to a human ear can permanently damage hearing in less than a second. And once their hearing is destroyed, no, they cannot just leave the area, because they rely on their extremely sensitive hearing for navigation.

It seems to me for quite a while. You do know that our lives are already worth less than a dog's, right? Cop shoots you to death in a botched raid (wrong address, etc) and gets 2 weeks off with pay. You shoot police dog that's ripping your arm off in similiar raid and provided you live through it, you'll go to prison for killing an 'officer'.
