    It seems like this story is a lot bigger than what is getting out to the general public, or maybe its worse that first thought. Maybe its me and I haven't followed the news enough, San Francisco is my favorite place and it saddens me to see this.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    I know what you mean. This was on last night's ABC news but it got maybe
    one line. (almost added like an after thought) Seems the Coast Guard
    didn't respond quickly enough or acknowledge the severity of the spill.

    I know - the initial report was 140 gallons We're not stupid; I think everyone knew the instant it was reported that it was going to be BIG. The air smells weird; I know it's toxic. I just feel so bad for the innocent, defenseless wildlife that's being put in peril.

    Oh that's so sad! Poor wildlife. I do hope many will volunteer to help!

    Animals aren't only the ones affected. People are, too as well. Don't forget that part.

    Just wondering if there are any more news on this spill? You would seem
    to have a front row seat in this disaster. I hope they get it all contained
    & begin more cleanup soon. This ship was on the way to South Korea when
    it rammed the bridge?
