The Coast Guard flies pelicans rehabilitated from the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill from New Orleans to Texas to be released into the wild June 20, 2010. U.S. Coast Guard video by Petty Officer 2nd Class Gina Ruoti.
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.
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.
That's way cool ! WELL DONE USCG ! (UNITED WE STAND) !

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?

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