It really breaks my heart to see the damage to the birds. They show
them in tv news accounts & I feel like they should try to help them, not
just stand there and take pictures of their misery.

I heard on a news broadcast, that they are asking the public to NOT to try to help them, but to call in to the wildlife experts and they will come out and get them. Seems that the birds are already so stressed, that someone trying to help that doesn't know how to properly handle them, could just cause more stress, damage, and even death to these poor creatures.

It was heartbreaking to see those poor pelicans struggling to even move. Such as sad situation........

Latest report says the BP riser is delivering about 10,000 barrels a day.

I looked up the equivalent in gallons, and it was 420,000.

Likely I missed something - but was the original output from the leak over 400,000 gallons?

Death might be a blessing to the worst of them.

Death might be a blessing to the worst of them.

Absolutely! Unfortunately, there are already many of them that are just too far gone to be helped.

And now I heard something to the effect, that they expect the oil to keep leaking all the way thru Fall. All this is just too much to even imagine what the situation will be like by then.

BP acts like they should get a reward because they put that cap thing on that has the vents and it's "helped some". What I want to know is WHY DON'T YOU SHUT THE DARN VENTS?!!!!!!
