Ce se intampla de fapt in Golful Mexic

Cateva randuri dintr-un articol publicat zilele trecute pe un blog american:

"We were told this yesterday by some of the people who are working with us with Global Green. There are animal rescue boats out there that are sort of fighting to be in the water with the B.P. boats, because B.P. is trying to keep them out. They're doing oil burn-off, and there was a rescue worker out on the water who saw a sea turtle swimming in between the barges. He waved down the fire guy and said 'Hey, hey, don't light it. Let us in to get the turtle.' And they looked at him and said, 'Don't have time,' and lit it anyway. And they burned - in front of the rescue worker - a sea turtle. Alive. There are animals they're burning alive with nobody witnessing it, simply so that they can save four and a half minutes."
"They explain that B.P.'s financial liability is calculated by the number of gallons spilled, the lost wages, and the number of dead birds, sea turtles, and mammals. "Every animal that dies that they prevent us from counting and finding out about is less money out of their pocket,"
"The photographs they've taken of B.P.'s workers tell another story. "We watched these guys walking around on the beaches wearing no protective gear other than plastic gloves and rain boots. They've been told that if they're photographed wearing respirators they'll be fired."
