U.S. Navy To Continue Killing Whales With Sonar

"The Navy has settled a lawsuit filed by environmentalists challenging its use of sonar in hundreds of submarine-hunting exercises around the world.

The Navy said Saturday the deal reached with the Natural Resources Defense Council and other groups requires it to continue to research how sonar affects whales and other marine mammals.

It doesn't require sailors to adopt additional measures to protect the animals when they use sonar."

I'm starting to become convinced that all this mass murder is done just because. Stanley Milgram showed the world that people can be made to do anything when a recognized authority tells them to, and apparently that "authority" doesn't even have to be human. That right there scares me to the core.
