Scientists probe death of 17 whales
Scientists are reworking a theory that 17 whales died from eating toxic algae off southwestern Nova Scotia, after early tests showed no signs of the lethal red tide in the immediate area.

Preliminary findings show the water and a certain fish species that the whales ate in the region near George's Bank had no traces of the algae.

American and Canadian scientists had suspected the fin, pilot and humpback whales became exposed to the toxin through the water or the tonnes of krill they eat every day.

I wonder how a science reporter could write a story like this and never mention military sonar? Aren't the Whores amazing.
