The National Marine Fisheries Service says Navy training off the San Diego County coast has been linked to the deaths of at least three dolphins and may be responsible for two more. . . .
Environmentalists have called on the Navy to suspend activities involved in the deaths and conduct a transparent investigation. A spokesman says the Navy is continuing its training program in the area.

I’m not seeing the proof of a link. Just a declaration of a link.
Seems to me that dolphins are pretty intelligent and would avoid an area that was dangerous to them.

Back when football players played football the way it was meant to be played. Haven’t been a fan since.

Dolphins are about as smart as a dog or pig and taste great.
Like all water mammals, much of their brain tissue is no neurons, but insulation to withstand the cold temperatures of the depths.

If I was in command I would assign the newly forced on us gays to run any programs that butt heads with leftists. Then we could say they’re just homophobes for complaining about it. How could the libs win that one?
To: SmithL
I have a liking for dolphins. But accidents happen, and this is not exactly a major kill. How many dolphins were killed in that area by sharks, for instance?

We should just get rid of our military. Things might die or get polluted otherwise. [/s]

You know, we have humans, American servicemen, who die every year in military training. You will never read of them in the San Francisco news. But some cute swimming animals that are too stupid to avoid a tuna net get in the way of Navy training and die... well then, the eco nuts go into mourning.
I am not troubled by this.

Well if they are so frickin smart, why didn’t they just adhere to the warnings and stay away from the area. Big grey ships coming at me makes me want to find another area of the ocean to play.
On another note, how are they so sure it wasn’t some Hollywood liberal out tooling around in their yacht and jet skis?

The Navy should be disbanded for killing 3 fish.
I bet there have been many unreported instances in which fish were struck and killed by vessels.

Meanwhile 5,000 babies are aborted per day. But the reporter and the protesters probably think that is OK.

I love the little flippers as much as the next guy, but armed forces need training.
