BP Gulf Oil Spill Photos...

Those pictures really do show the tragedy of this incident. But, why did the blogger or whoever compiled them feel it was necessary to put this picture in with the others?

This is the part of it that is really heartbreaking and has repercussions that will last long after the oil is forgotten ...

It's not like they needed to sensationalize it further, reality in this case is powerful enough without resorting to that type of very counterproductive activity. It only provides ammunition for the BP apologists and reinforces the beliefs of those who already accuse the "tree huggers" of exaggerating.

Go back and read the posts on this site which comment on the photos of the dead birds associated with the Pacific garbage patch.

I think the blog is great and shows what needs to be shown more widely but that single photo does more damage to the "cause" than anything any apologist or denier could ever do. What a shame.

Thanks for finding and posting that link though, I and many others might never have seen it otherwise.

Marmot you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Everybody knows beavers don't live in salt water.

Seems BP may have built their own mountain and may still be building.

I haven't noticed much mountain building here, the thread was dormant until you posted your silly comment.

Since you apparently couldn't find anyone to explain it to you: The animal pictured is a sea otter. It was killed in Prince William Sound, Alaska in 1989.

I guess people who can't tell the difference between otters and beavers don't care much about the difference between reportage and propaganda either.

It appears you missed the point that the tragedy is sufficiently horrific by itself that it was hardly necessary to throw in a picture of an animal killed 21 years and 3500 miles from the BP spill.
