Excellent!

Thank you for rescuing them.

Stop the oil offshore.

Pelicans aren't the only victims

Tell the Feds to allow Louisiana to continue building sand barriers...

It's an outrage that they would try to hamstring our efforts to protect ourselves like this.

Would people be more compassionate towards the sea life if humans were getting covered in oil, like this?

Fantastic...MaxsafeheaD..misse­s the point which is: Wwe are also a very compassionate people..The cup is half full.

While I'm glad that some folks have heart to save these beautiful creatures, I still cannot help but think about what BP have instructed some of their cleanup crews to do: which is, while scooping up waterbirds with their rakes, to separate the head from the body so no autopsy can be done. This is shameful BP.

that's nice have you stopped the leak yet?

[MaxSafeheaD]

WTF, the whole reason these birds are in this awful mess is Americas insatiable appetite for oil ... so let's burn a whole bunch more to save a few?!! Only in the USA could this possibly seem like a good idea. So utterly naive it's depressing.

If we are doing this to the animals what about the people do they need to be captured and released??

you know I only watch this to see what you WANT me to see and trust without doubt you aren'telling me what I need to know. what is the problem, what are the parameters to fix this spill? why is the media blocked out? 80,000 ideas and you reject them all? I've given sound ideas which were rejected - clearly you haven't not given me the parameters to solve the problem - give out relevant information- how bad is it?
