Would you pour oil onto your garden or lawn? You know the results if you do.
Once oil seeps into soil (including soil under creeks and ponds), it stays and kills.

Many thanks to Tracy Aviary employees who worked tirelessly to capture and clean birds all day and night. In it very fortunate that they were there within hours to save animals that otherwise would have died. Imagine if this had occurred in a remote area (as in the gulf), the damage would be much much worse. Living with hazardous materials has its price, we all pay. To Chevron and BP it just means they have to increase prices because we are dependent.

Many thanks for Zoo employees and Tracy Aviary employees for their great efforts in saving the birds. We are incredibly luck to have this resource right where the disaster happened. Think if it were more remote, they damage could have even been worse. The price of living with a toxic substance is high, and we all pay for it. We make a choice, do the other animals have one?

Yes all of you that blamed Barrack Obama are right, because that November we voted for God. Seriously? . . . you think the president can predict a pipeline failure anywhere in the US before it happens with his Spidey Sense? He, and no government entity in the white house can be personally blamed for something like this. THESE THINGS HAPPEN! "But, why haven't they stopped it?" one of you ignorant beings has asked. Newsflash, they are stopping it. In a world in the dimension of time-space processes take time, and as the article so readily explains, they are doing everything in there power to stop and clean up the spill. It is what it is, and no government faction is to be blamed. To all of the people working so tirelessly to undo this latest of local tragedies: Thank You and Good Job.

No Dayglow, you are wrong. This was George Bush's fault.

Where are the Limbaugh fanatics who were backing their hero when he said "The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there, it’s natural. It’s as natural as the ocean water is."

Where are you guys now? I guess it is different when it is in your own back yards.
