In a perfect example of U.S. priorities, the Navy detonated a 40,000 pound bomb off the coast of Florida in precious wildlife habitat, blasting it and the animals there to pieces in order to test to see if "its newest aircraft carrier...is ready for war." And this isn't even the last of what the Navy has planned. Every year they do thousands of these explosive, destructive tests, all to the detriment of our marine friends.
Sign the petition and demand that the Navy find another way to test their ships that doesn't kill incalculable amounts of wildlife like dolphins and whales!
The grim number of fatalities and the extent of the environmental destruction is hard to determine not just because this blast's size was particularly outrageous. It's also because the Navy literally doesn't employ trained biologists to monitor marine mammals that could be affected by their test bombs. Sign the petition and demand that the United States Navy stop needlessly killing marine animals — they must come up with new ways to test their ships!
P.S. The U.S. Navy murdered countless marine animals without even trying to save them.
