A skulk of foxes appeared at Island Beach Park's north end, non-normative being nocturnal and solitary. Despite signs begging not to do so, vehicles threw them food and even candy.

I don't know enough to claim it is ALL bullshit, but I know enough to NOT believe the people yelling the loudest know the right answer. Plus when you look into some of them, suddenly the far right cares about the environment? Please.

I wish we could say "yet let's give it a couple more months of SOLID research with actual scientists" but a couple months will turn into forever ban if that happens.

Also, some of these whales had physical injuries likely from boats, haven't they?

For all we know, there's more subs off the coast now too and maybe they are responsible, between engines and sonar.

Has this happened anywhere else in the world near wind farms?

This grabbing your pitchforks thing is really below us.

Well the navy admitted it happens and that's the scientific fact that this rich person beach protection crew is exploiting. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-military-sonar-kill/#:~:text=While%20little%20is%20known%20about,from%20the%20sounds%20of%20sonar.

This is from 2009 but I believe the navy has admitted this since at least 2002
