the gulf oil spill

the gulf of Mexico oil spill situation
is profoundly sad,
the death of so many innocent animals
the ultimate human cruelty imposed...
and what's to do?
human power and greed seem to have non-stop



so many days, and things only get worse
hope we are learning our lesson on dealing with oil
the sights are heartbreaking...
so i comfort myself with the sight
of these 2 happy animals that arrived to my doorstep
and have become my local little furry family
wishing all nature could be safe as them

Hola Berenice,

Some months ago, we heart in far away Europe the slogan "drill, baby, drill".

What are the drillers saying now??

In the early 90's I visited Valdez, AK (where the Exxon-Valdez spill was so many years ago) - The beaches were still a bit dark and there was/is a very sad oil-spill museum there.
It's very disappointing that it is happening again (with it's similarities and differences)... and there will probably be yet another oil-spill museum there in the gulf.

hola DutchMonki and Herr Georg, yes! this is an extremely sad situation... oh Monki and yes, surely there will be museums for this spill, but i hope we finally learn the lesson and invest in other sorts of energy

it's very frustrating, especially living here in Southern California, how all the sun energy is literally going to waste, while we are wasting away our beloved planet and all the animals :(

yes dear Diatton, and that Gulf spill seems to be far from being solved, very sad and devastating situation, we keep on abusing this planet and its other inhabitants the poor animals always pay for the human mistakes... to confess, sometimes i wish we humans got eaten by wild beasts and finish humanity, then, probably, this planet could flourish again!! have you seen the film 12 Monkeys? sort of like that! oh well... i know your country is dealing with very hard financial situations too! but we can only hope that humans could learn a bit from animal organization and ways of living and solve our infinite issues!
