BP - Burning Petroleum is now Burning Turtles Alive

by Ellinorianne

It's another horrendous story coming out of the Gulf, as wildlife rescue people try to help wildlife struggling to swim in oil, get out of it and escape it.

The awful news is coming now that these rescuers are being denied access to rescue these endangered turtles from the waters near the spill and that the oil soaked turtles are being burned alive.

There is nothing I can do to hold back tears as I read about this story recently, hearing about people attempting to save more lives, as little as they may seem, more lives and an endangered species, sea turtles, burning in oil rather than being rescued.  

An ancient species as well, the sea turtle represents mother earth, creation, longevity, and wisdom and everything that BP is not.  This is a tragedy that we cannot allow, the turtles have been here much longer than any of us, we cannot allow them to disappear because of BP!
