    Oil Spill in San Francisco Bay

    This whole mess in the San Francisco Bay is just breaking my heart and I know I'm not alone in wanting to help. Volunteers are needed to assist in finding and cleaning up oiled wildlife. I just signed up to volunteer to help. If anyone else would like to sign up too:

    and

    Thanks. I keep crying today, thinking of all the innocent wildlife who are being injured or killed because of this accident.

    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....

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!

    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!
