In my ears the moans and screams Of the dying ring, Somewhere in the darkness The siren softly sings…” “The architects of our doom Around their tables sit, And in their thrones of power, Condemn those they’ve cast adrift.

According to a major campaigner, “the International Fund for Animal Welfare” went as far as doing DNA tests to see what was responsible for recent whale beachings. Due to these facts, Japan’s own Ministry of Agriculture is stepping up. They have plans to file proposals for recent research along with the government ( IFAW, n.d. Parah 5).

SAVE THE WHALES We all know that the US spends the biggest amount of money on the military because of terrorism and wanting to be strategically ahead of all the other countries. They are just trying to protect our country from being attacked again especially after Pearl Harbor and 9/11. But maybe the military has gone a bit too far in some instances, like underwater sonar testing. The Navy was just renewed permits to conduct exercises in an extensive area in the Pacific Ocean.

beached have had some kind of trauma beforehand. Scientists are starting to research and discover that most of them were bleeding around the brain and ears. Due to all of the naval ships in the area, people began to question if they had any part of the beaching. “Most previous attempts to determine whether military sonar use and whale strandings are correlated have looked at mass stranding records of beaked whales an... ... middle of paper ... ...der an immediate halt to any Navy training exercises

This ignorant action by me would cause madness like know other from Adam. Adam continued to stalk my house throughout the night. I looked outside the next morning to watch Adam turn my property into a junkyard by dumping off my vehicles, and beaching my boat on the lawn. At that point, I became furious and stormed up to his ever intimidating, oversized tow truck and demanded my son, as we had agreed Adam would drop him off that next day.
