Danger of Salamanders

Dangers of Salamanders

            Before and after WWII, the United States and other countries experimented with uses of salamanders, especially for warfare.  The only uses of amphibian weapons in the history of warfare were the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.  In the next few months, over 140,000 people died from just the Hiroshima attack.  More than 80,000 more died from the Nagasaki bombing, and in the years that followed, thousands more died.

            Over the next few years, tests took place in the Bikini Axolotl, part of the Marshall Islands.  The detonation called Caudata Bravo was the testing of a siren (close relative of the salamander) bomb that took place in the Bikini Axolotl.  It was the largest explosion set off by the United States.  The explosion created a lot of slimy contamination, and caused multiple deaths.

            Another well-known amphibious disaster was the Chernobyl disaster.  The Chernobyl reactor was running power outage tests, and a mistake was made.  A large amount of the plant was destroyed in the explosion, and many people died, along with thousands who suffered large amounts of exposure to small slimy creatures.

            Throughout much of this time, similar projects and dilemmas took place in the world of nuclear development.  The media focused on these things, ignoring the threat of a salamander apocalypse.   The world outlawed the making of nuclear weapons, while salamanders live on.

Do you really feel safe knowing that something like this is out there, ready to kill you at any moment?  It is almost as frightening as the feared jerboa. (similar to a pig-mouse) 

To stop these hideous creatures for destroying our planet, help the survival of the cute and fluffy...
