What can be done to stop the burning of sea turtles?

December 19, 2010/in Ocean Newswire/by Ocean Doctor

Question by Nyssa: What can be done to stop the burning of sea turtles?
Big oil (with the help of the GOBP) has destroyed the gulf coast and the lives of countless marine animals. But even with all that’s already happened, it’s been reported that BP has been burning alive the gulf’s endangered sea turtles.

“…boats create a corral of oil by dragging together fire-resistant booms and then lighting the enclosed “burn box” on fire. If turtles are not removed from the area before the fire is lit, they are literally burned alive.”

Why should it be a surprise that the conservatives who are protecting BP do not care about the suffering and death of Earth’s sea creatures? They have no compassion for those on land who have lost their jobs or their lives due to the greed of those they are protecting.

    BP NOW cares about wildlife, the ecosystem, our beaches for ONE reason! They’re trying to cover their ass after they told MMS that there was, “NO chance of a failure”. We’ve known for years that MMS and the oil industry are in bed together, what do you think? They don’t give a flying pelican’s ass about anything other than profits. Period, end of story.

    Has anyone bothered to check the “evidence”? The links cited are worthless or worse. I have yet to see any evidence of a turtle being burned, either dead or alive, just reports that rescuers have been denied permission to go into the gathered oil to look for them. When one of the links is to an anti-Israel website, you wonder about the mentality of the “green” protesters.

    BP has enough to answer for as it is. Penalize them for what they have done, not what you fear they might have done.
