I've been wondering, since there is a massive oil slick, where are the heart-rending photographs of oil soaked wildlife? I looked for these news stories, and the only ones were in the foreign press. For some reason the U.S. MSM is sparing us from seeing these.

The meat’s still good, ain’t it? Prisoner food.

First the German animal rights activists demanded that the little polar bear 'Knut' in the Berlin Zoo be killed, and now they're sticking their noses into oily pelicans a half a world away from them as if it's any of their damned business?

I don't quite think that I understand this whole 'Animals vill be bred und SLAUGHTERED' mentality these people have, but I'm starting to think that you have to have a German brain to come up with these 'final solutions'.

This kind of thing is not supposed to happen with a Democrat president. Therefore we are not told.

Saith the referenced article, bird cleaning is usually in vain for the reason that by the time an oiled bird is caught it has probably managed to ingest a fatally poisonous dose of oil. If there were some easy test for whether a bird had thus been poisoned, it might be possible to save more birds as time, effort, and cleaning resources would not be wasted on birds in such bad shape that they would better be euthanized.

This makes cents to me. Now if only mr. mt suit and his ilk would swim out to rescue them.
