ANIMALS SUFFER AFTER OIL SPILLS FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO


BP has abandoned its original plan to use a diamond wire cutter that its engineers had hoped would cleanly cut the riser pipe spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico. It will instead use a more effective, if less precise, cutter, the federal government's point man on the disaster said Wednesday.
Yet, Oil oozes through the reeds at the mouth of the Mississippi River near Venice, Louisiana. BP reported further progress Tuesday in stemming the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, but new evidence showed part of the slick could be swept to Florida's beaches and sensitive coral reefs killing birds and animal on its way.

The following scenarios are examples reflecting to the wrath of the oil spill's aftermath ;

The pictures are heart breaking and I think there is no end to the catastrophe of their lives.Silent as they are tend to suffer the most under water.But we must not forget the hurricane season and must not forget it is a food chain and we are at the top of it.
