Default Dead Whales?

Dead Whales are showing up on the beaches but curiously there are no propeller marks on them? Who gets blamed next????

I saw on the tv someone blaming seismic tests they are doing for windmill foundations. They were proposing the tests are interfering with the whale's sonar. The environmental groups want to pause the tests but the governor said no.

Reporting here in florida is the whale died of a disease. They also stated it’s not unusual for orcas to be gulf waters , but very offshore.

Now I know why the random speed limit law is being pushed. They needed a scapegoat because they knew this would happen once they started work on the windmills. If they blame the destruction on something else, they can keep lining their pockets.

7 dead whales washed up in the last month or so near AC. Just inshore from where the Wind Project is being worked....NOAA granted the project an incidental take permit, covers them if they kill or injure a whale or two, or three.....

Cant blame boaters , ocean pretty empty this time of the year .
Before this it was 1 whale every 3 years .
7 in a short time def points to something else .
But they will def spin the finger towards us

I thought I remembered a post from a year or more ? ago discussing the Acoustic shock technique that NOAA ? was proposing using in this area to plot the bottom for energy projects. I also remember a lot of people raising points about the damage the acoustic waves could do to sea mammals and their biological sonar but they were being dismissed by the energy interests and whatever government agencies they have in their pockets. Come on 7 dead whales in and area where they said they would be doing this is no coincidence. This is OK ? This is Acceptable ? There's got to be another way.
