As you all know this year the oceans were damaged wit h large amounts of oil from when the BP oils companies tank burst and leaked large amounts of the oil into out oceans. When that oil leaked into the ocean it hurt and killed a lot of animals on and off of land.
Dolphins got badly hurt when the oil leaked into their habitats, which is the shallow part of the ocean. Some of the dolphins also lost their eye sight from the oil getting into their eyes. It caused mother dolphins to lose her babies cause she lost her eye sight and could not find her child.

Young Heron also died from the spill, they got stuck in the muck on the beaches and could not get out. They lost their mothers who quickly left once the oil had gotten there.The oil got in the babies feathers and made it so he or she could not fly any where. The toxic smell of the oil got in its respiratory system and shut the poor little bird down.

One other sea animal that got hurt or killed for the horrendous oil spill is, sea turtles. Their habitat in either areas in the ocean or on the beaches. A lot of oil was also found on the beaches, and with the finding of the oil on the beach, they found sea turtles struggling to keep their lives. The oil was just to much for them and they were not able to go anywhere else to get rid of it.
Because of BPs oil spill a lot of the animals that we have living in the oceans have died. That is a reason for animals soon becoming instinct. We have to try out hardest to keep the ocean and the beaches clean of other pollution's, these animals can’t take it anymore. If you see a hurt animal at the beach, call the local animal rescue. Don't just walk away from it, the animals matter to.

What is being done to help the animals affected by the spill?
ReplyDeleteAdeline..there is different places kind of like the animal rescue and they take in the animals and help them. they clean them and hold them at the hospital until they can fly or walk or things like that then they put them back into the ocean
ReplyDeleteWe really need to get going on saving these animals. It was our stupid idea to but an oil drill in the ocean to deep for anyone to get at it without technology know the animals our suffering. What are we going to do to fix the problem that BP made?
ReplyDeleteAshley I agree that many animals are getting injured and dying and this will lead to extinction eventually. But how does the oil affect the heron's wings so that they can't fly away?
ReplyDeleteIs BP taking any responsibility for the trouble they have caused these animals?
