7. Take a look-see at how BP operates in Scotland
and THEN tell me how you feel. This is a 1990 documentary from "The Scottish Eye."

9. ya, I saw that too. www.seizebp.org
www.seizebp.org that's how I feel.

Nothing can ever make this right. We will be lucky if we humans excape extinction ourselves. The rest of the species on this planet, not so much.

5. Given the condition of the corpse, it's obviously several days old.
That is bloating caused by decomposition gases, forcing internal organs out through orifices and ultimately the rupturing of the guts.

What killed it is a complete unknown and can not be determined from that excessively gruesome image.

6. Yes and it is rocket science to figure out what killed the 30 or more dolphins washed up so far!

A dolphin lies on dead on a beach on Horn Island, in On the Gulf of Mexico, Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Officials say that at least six dead dolphins have been found on the Gulf Coast since May 2. Authorities don't know whether the animals died from the oil in the Gulf. (AP Photo/Mike Stewart)


A pod of Bottle Nose dolphins swim under the oily water Chandeleur Sound, La., Thursday, May 6, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil giant BP PLC's oil rig exploded April 20, in the Gulf of Mexico killing 11 workers. It sank two days later, and oil is still pouring into the gulf. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)



These photos are old and the big thing is the suppression of the news where the real bad areas of devastation are the reporters are barred from seeing the ugly truth by the US Coast Guard under orders from their bosses at BP

8. "The 29 stranded dolphins are between two and six times the normal rate for the region."
according to National Wildlife Federation senior scientist Doug Inkley.

10. I'm not saying oil isn't the reason that dolphin died. Simply pointing out...
...that it's not possible to discern anything except the age of the corpse from that photograph, and that automatically ascribing the cause of death to the slick is not a good idea.

THEY can be wrong a thousand times and come back with yet another transparent lie to be believed. WE don't have that luxury.
