Edited on Tue Jun-22-10 06:55 PM by speedcat

BP is stopping rescue efforts and burning turtles alive. These are endangered turtles too. Oh, the sickness!

No payout.

2. yer right

I heard about this. That there is a $25,000 fine per dead turtle; BP burns them and there is no evidence. The captain said they come up looking like "chocolate milk". Makes me want to become Amish or live in the woods and never buy anything again.

3. You didn't do anything wrong. BP did and still is

with help.

The fact that the Gulf Coast residents haven't gone out there with pitchforks and torches is a testament to how much misplaced trust we all have that the powers that be give a shit.

4. I think Obama should

forcibly take over BP until this mess is completely cleaned up.

5. the MOST endangered

"The Kemp’s ridley turtle is the world’s most endangered sea turtle, and with a worldwide female nesting population roughly estimated at just 1,000 individuals, its survival truly hangs in the balance."

These beings live about 50 years.
