The 6 O'Clock news had footage that really bothered me; one segment showed a bird on his back like the #6 photo of this thread's subject with his feet in the air. The bird was ALIVE and his feet were cycling just as fast as he could pedal, while glued on his back upside down.
So, I check the web about volunteering, having had a good bit of experience with non-oiled birds.
First I get a local organization (local=good I think to myself) and it ends up they want $ - essentially they are selling workshops. I found nothing showing they actually do anything practical.
2nd - Okay, then I click on BP's own volunteer page. Down at the bottom there's a single comment. Apparently if you call that toll free number, you just get referred over to a Louisiana website. The URL was given to clickey-me onto #3
3. I get to the official Loiusiana volunteer website and TADA! A red stop sign. "Volunteers are not needed at this time."
WHOA! You mean to tell me you don't need volunteers because Obama isn't planning another visit or what?

Why haven't I heard "drill baby drill" lately? This is the worst--the completely innocent suffer the most.

I agree with you about the animals, I feel really bad for them. But. Lets put the blame where it belongs, on the enviromentalist, their the ones forcing the oil companies to go further an further out to sea to drill. If this were closer to shore the situation probably could've been taken care of soon and the damage either less sever or better contained.
Or maybe if people start blameing the environmentalists and holding them accountable for hold the US back and for not allowing us to drill here in the US we wouldn't have to drill so much off shore. Maybe if it weren't for the environmentalists we could've been building more nuclear power plants cutting down on our need for so much oil.
As long as everyone likes electricty, heat in the winter, A/C in the summer, watching tv, movies, cd's, dvd's, ipod's, driving, ect, ect all made with or use oil we all hold some of the blame, not just the oil companies.
