The images from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill this week have not been good. Many of the pictures were worse than this showing wildlife not so lucky as these rescued pelicans. I would feel outraged as the title suggests except the sadness is overwhelming.
Americans who were hoping the naysayers were over reacting now have visual proof of the devastating effect the BP oil spill has and will continue to have on the environment, sealife, wildlife and affected economies. Time will tell the final outcome, but I think it’s going to get much worse. I hope I’m wrong.
