I can't stop thinking about the dolphins at Percuil and what made them flee the deep water. I'm really sad about it.
I spent all my summers at my Grandparents house as a child, very near to the Percuil river in a little village called Treverva. I know the area where they were stranded really well. I don't know why that makes things worse, but it really does.
I'm angry with the navy because I think things are pointing towards it being their fault. If there were live firing exercises, which it appears there were, it's no wonder the dolphins freaked and swam inland. Seventy dolphins don't just decide to go into low waters for no reason whatsoever.
There's some vague talk of a killer whale scaring them, but I just don't believe that. Although killer whales are predators of dolphins they don't scare a whole pod of seventy. I feel sure it has something to do with the naval exercises in Falmouth harbour.
I don't see why we have to have submarine exercises in the first place. Quite frankly I'd rather we had safe dolphins.
