Oil Spill affecting Wildlife
This oil leak can become disastrous towards the food chain. That's not a good thing at all. Many pictures throughout the media is of birds being covered in oil. However, not only the birds are being covered in oil the fish and other sea animals are affected by this oil spill. The oil that covers the wildlife becomes sticky over time and that can hinder the health of the wildlife animals more. If these animals become unhealthy and are covered in oil what in the world are we supposed to eat? Despite our food issue, the sea animals are seriously in danger. This oil spil can cause limitations on certain animals. For example, the fur seal pups are endangered because they can drown since the oil sticks to their flippers. I feel really bad for these animals because they have to suffer even more and it's unfair to them that they have to go through this struggle. They are dependent on us humans to save them and their habitats. The animals are also effected by this oil because it can cause internal bleeding and ulcers in their stomachs due to ingestion of the oil. My oh my how much these animals have to suffer. I wish I could save every last one of them. Another horrible problem of the oil spil is that it can cause poisoning of the animals that are high on the food chain. If they eat the little fish that have been covered in oil they can get poisoned. Consuming the oil is a dangerous thing to us humans, it is toxic and deadly. Unless you want to die then feel free to eat as many oil covered birds or fish. In conclusion, I think that we all should try and chip in to save the wildlife or help try to save the Gulf. Team up and save our Planet.
