    Absolutely sickening to hear. I wonder if they can relate any other whale beachings to oceanic oil exploration. That is the first time I have heard of any correlation with the two. :-[

    Arrrggghhh!!! I just really pisses me off when I read stuff like this. I was about to post this article, too.

    My gut feeling is that there has to be a correlation to some sort of man-made disturbance somewhere even if it's not the specific seismic testing mentioned. I've read in other articles that simple sonars really mess up dolphins and whales, and the stronger sonars that all the different militaries test are even worse.
