Less Than 1% of Oil-Soaked Birds Survive

all we can do is the best we can and save what we can, i say don't kill the animals do what you can for them; we all die on our own sometime

I heard the figure was actually 10%. But, hey, if it makes the tree-huggers feel good about themselves, let 'em do it. Besides, using all that Dawn dish soap is good for the economy!

They say that insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. We're doing the same to our earth by continuing to drill for oil while expecting things like this will not happen, or affect the aquatic life in the sea.

The world needs to invest more time and energy in eliminating petroleum from being used.

Even in humans , when oil gets into the lungs , even a small amount , they cannot be saved and will slowly die . The body cannot detox this stuff and slowly dies .

...In many cases, WWF believes there is value in trying to clean and rehabilitate wildlife, especially if productive, viable adult animals can recover from exposure to oil, but every situation is different, and it is too soon to fully calculate the impact the Gulf spill will have on the long-term viability of populations of many species in the region...a massive amount have died from the stress of over-handling...doomed if we do, doomed if we don't...sigh...

NEW BP PROMOTIONAL VIDEO.."DO ALL YOU CAN FOR WILDLIFE
...DONATE A BULLET....."

these creatures never asked us for nothing. they didnt get food stamps or fly here illegally...they were just living their lives. and poof....bp destroys them while our government just watches it happen. they have every right to live life without greed ruining their ecosystem...if "you" were covered in oil...stinging your eyes...fighting for every breath....doing all you could to keep your head above water for just one more sacred breath......would you ask for help.
OR A BULLET ?

If this had happened in China, the CEO, executives and anyone in charge of decision making would be given a very speedy trial and taken out and shot.
BP stands for bloody petroleum. See all the dead and dieing and sufferring animals. See all the unemployed fishermen. See the death of one of the most important eco-systems in the USA that is a spawning ground for many types of seafood and sea animals.
Damn BP and damn those whiners who want their dividends. They own the company and its their fault too.

Just grab your meal toss on a grill light a match no need for lighter fluid home free yum eat like an opec king

...I could never agree to it...but on the other hand, seeing an animal suffer so horrifically...I'm on the fence here with splinters up my ass...sigh...

Finally. A practice range for tasers.

It's horrible! I want to go ouside and hug my duck!

Would you kill one person if it would end the suffering of 99 other people? What if those 99 other people are destined to die anyway? What if one of those 99 would have survived, but you killed them? What if we kill the one bird that would have survived and whose offspring would have a natural genetic mutation that was the key to finding the cure for cancer? Just kidding...yeah I think it is the best course to kill them.

I think this depends on how at-risk the species might be because of the BP disaster.

If the bird species could potentially become extinct from this oil spill, then regardless of whether 1% is a low number or not, it's at least enough to potentially save the species from being wipped off the map like humans have done with other animals all over the world.

If, however, the species is likely to survive regardless, then I can understand why we should kill them, and I even support the decision to do that, as I would detest being covered in oil myself.

WOW! Only 1%... how sad. Now I'm in favor of killing them to put them out of their misery too.
