DogMan85 722 Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I've heard that they believe humans are the cause of it, God knows what submarines and such do to these animals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,852 Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I read something years ago about the navy,s use of sonar buggering up the whales own sonar system and that's why even if they put them back they just turn round and do it again ? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I read something years ago about the navy,s use of sonar buggering up the whales own sonar system and that's why even if they put them back they just turn round and do it again ? I just saw this on the news - they said that some of the ones that had been rescued had turned around and came straight back. Not good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
