Have you seen all the whales that have been washing up on shore on the east coast? Sorry I don’t have a link but I think it’s a pretty important story if you value animals like I do. I’m sure it’s everywhere with many different theories, depending on what narrative one is hoping for.
What if… what if all those windmills that put out a whole lot of sonic noise are actually harming whales and possibly other sea life over time? Are “we” going to be smart enough to give a shit or is this unattainable “zero carbon” fantasy going to be doubled down on no matter what the cost?
OR, giant humming ocean windmills are welcomed by the sea life and the whales are just coming across some spillover fentanyl.
Anyway, I just thought it was a troubling story that isn’t getting much play.

I will go with "spillover fentanyl" When I was looking of submarines we transmitted hundreds of acoustic energy into the ocean and the whales and porpi sang along with us.
IT IS A COMBINATION OF FACTORS.....micro plastic in water,polluted oceans because of oil spills....MANY
sonic sounding fucking up their guidance system...a reflection from the sealife of what OUR FUTURE is
moving towards...UNFIT ENVIRONMENT.....MY BELIEF, WHALES R BEACHING THEMSELVES (FOR REASON ABOVE)AS A MEANS OF SUICIDE...LIFE IS UNBEARABLE,SICKNESS HAS REPLACED HEALTH AND JUST LIKE HUMANS ....THEY COMMIT SUICIDE JMO

Interesting theory. Have you ever read any kind of valid study that suggests animals can decide to off themselves? Maybe we can be like Canada and start helping these poor depressed animals out by making their struggle easier by killing them.
I’m sorry, I just don’t buy into that since I believe animals have a natural instinct to survive at all costs. Animals understand the value of life much better than humans imo, at least more than the current population of humans.
You did somewhat dodge my point, HA. If our green energy ambitions end up killing more wildlife than carbon emitting fuels, would that matter to you? I’m not saying millions of acres of solar panels and windmills are doing that, but what if they are? Are those animals an acceptable expense?

Individual whales may beach themselves for a host of reasons. Genetic mutations, illnesses from infections or parasites, injuries from predators or entanglements in fishing gear and old age may all play a role, according to cetacean science researchers at Whitehead lab at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia.
Perhaps your understanding of nature needs to be revised.
Where in that article do they confirm that whales intentionally kill themselves?
I don’t think you remember what you posted or you’re trying to deflect from your silly theory.

I was down in Puerto Vallarta for New Year's Eve and we saw plenty of whales and their calves. We have been seeing more than we used to thirty years ago.
Conservationists in Maine are trying to shut down some fishing to protect whale habitat but not all in the state support this.

Reading comprehension? Maybe I don’t know what your definition of suicide is… if so, I apologize.
My definition is the intensional ending of one’s self by lethal means.
I simply asked if you had a source that confirmed your animal suicide theory. That would be a no, so far…

No problem.....if a "thing" elects to get rid of the pain because it can no longer have quality of life,to me,that means ending it's life. The whale INTENTIONALLY beaches itself to die.(because it intuitively knows it is
not WHOLE AND HEALTHY)......the pain is the impetus. It ends the pain.
