BP Oil Spill Still Harming at Least 20 Animal Species

[Nihil]

2. It was (and continues to be) a toxic cesspool for the fossil fuel & agricultural industries ...

That doesn't excuse BP + Transocean + Halliburton from the fact that they made it a hell of a lot worse with a single event.

The fact that the dead zone around the Mississippi has nothing to do with Deepwater Horizon isn't an excuse for BP/Transocean/Halliburton.
It isn't getting fixed by BP's money though (but just grows every year without anyone caring).

The fact that there are many hundreds of leaking wells in the GoM isn't an excuse for BP/Transocean/Halliburton.
None of those are getting fixed by BP's money either (Chevron, Exxon et al are just laughing from behind their bought-out politicians).

The fact that several US states (as well as Mexico & various Latin American countries) continue to pour toxic sewage into
the GoM isn't an excuse for BP or Transocean or Halliburton to do the same. That damage isn't going to get fixed by BP's money
but the people responsible for it will never understand that if you shit on your own doorstep, it's *you* that has to clean it up.

The only reason that the plight of these poor creatures is being recognised is that the usual suspects can't make
their "traditional" money from them (either from tourism or - more frequently - from simply killing them).

*THAT* is the tragedy of human impact: No-one really gives a shit about the damage being done every single day and only
pays the tiniest bit of attention when some major event hits the headlines ...
