I want to start a class action lawsuit against British Petroleum for animal abuse. The United States of America has laws against animal abuse. What BP has accomplished by poisoning the Gulf of Mexico amounts to the worst case of animal and wildlife cruelty that I have every seen in my lifetime. Please sign this petition and I will do everything in my power to ensure that a lawyer represents the many animals that will die as a result of this disaster. Birds are so covered in oil that they could not fly anywhere! Sea Otters were especially vulnerable because the oil disintegrated the fur's ability to insulate and caused a loss in buoyancy! This catastrophe would kill thousands of animals, contaminate shorelines for hundreds of miles and cause millions of dollars in damages. The Gulf leak is far bigger than Exxon Valdez, making it the worst spill in American history. This is how many animals died as a result of the Exxon Valdez: The carcasses of more than 35000 birds and 1000 sea otters were found after the spill. However, since most of the carcasses have sunk, this is considered a fraction of the actual death toll. The best estimates are: 250000 seabirds, 2800 sea otters, 300 harbor seals, 250 bald eagles, up to 22 killer whales and billions of salmon and herring eggs. BP has committed mass murder!
