God bless those that care of the animals.

@mattyg546 Not sure what you mean by "environmentalists" but those sincerely opposed to oil want alternative fuels like electric cars, solar energy, alcohol & hemp seed oil fuels -- not just moving the rigs out to the ocean to do even more damage in case of an accident. GM killed the electric car to put out the Hummer instead for more profit. You really shouldn't stereotype people who actually care about the planet.

Great job guys lets clean up these poor animals as an apology for dropping shit all over their ocean home. God I fucking hate mankind we ruin everything that is nature.

Please consider a 100% vegetal-extracted option for the cleansing of birds. It cleans better and you get a residual that you can use it as fertilizer.

What do you do with the cleansing process residual?

Please check my videos and you can know the unique 100% natural solution for cleaning oil covered birds, without attempt against environment.

Shouldn't they have used Dawn on the birds. According to some of the cimmericals it good for getting oil off the birds.

@blakmira P.S. Yes, I cycle everywhere. There are lot of benefits to it as far as health and efficiency go. No, I'm not a vegan, I'll eat anything for survival. I would grow my own food but don't have the resources to do it (land). I'd love to use solar/wind but, again, don't have the resources for it (money/space). I'm pro-nuclear. Burning oil to me is like burning trees or coal. It's old-school, and needs replacing with something much cleaner for our population size and living style.

@blakmira I absolutely do include myself, and you're absolutely right. I contribute to it in my own ways for sure, though I don't own a car, and do try to be conscious of the reality of the consequence of my actions.

There are too many people living destructive lives. The system we have created, that we have come to depend on for survival, threatens to end everything. We need to realise this first, then start taking responsibility for it, if we have an interest in anything but ourselves.

@9ff70f96 Yes, these birds have been poisoned & it's good PR for the cameras.

However, don't say all *your* fault -- you need to include yourself.

Are you a vegan that grows your own crops? Do you ride a bicycle instead of a car? Have you investigated building your own solar panels? Do you campaign in your state to legalize industrial hemp?

Fingerpointing is usually very counterproductive unless you include yourself in there too.

@Terry413413 -- there have been recent reports that every single worker on the Exxon Valdez is now dead, average age of death 51 -- depends how much of the toxic fumes/Corexit these poor birds have had to swallow and breathe in. How will we ever know? The actual numbers of dead animals and carcasses are being kept a closely guarded secret from the public to minimize BP/Halliburton etc.'s financial liability...
