BP needs to fix the oil problem and take responsibility

Posted by admin on June 16, 2010

With the biggest disaster to hit the oceans in a very long time the BP gas oil spill is still going strong. There is so much damage already done that there is no way to know the extent of it just yet. Birds, turtles, and other animals inhabiting the ocean are dying slow painful deaths. There are thousands of volunteers helping to aid the animals that are alive by washing them and trying to nurse them back to help. Many are making efforts to clean shorelines and try to prevent anymore of the oil to reach the coasts. There are even celebrities donating millions of dollars on the costs of the clean up right down to local people who have bizarre ideas that just might help with some of the clean up. It is very difficult to keep the oil in a specific location and away from land or animals.

BP has said again and again how apologetic they are for the occurrence. They claim that it was and is just an accident and that they will pay for all the damage that incurs. Yet they can not pay for life to be given back to the animals who have lost their lives. This is truly a sad moment and unfortunately, there will probably be thousands more animals that will lose their lives before this mess is cleaned up.

There are many fisherman who will not be able to fish for many years now and BP is saying they will pay any and all claims that are made by those who are affected. How long will they pay and how much? This is something that will be affecting humanity and the creatures of the world for years to come. This is not just something that can be swept up and taken away. BP is now under attack by not just the government and the people. They now have other major oil companies saying that they have been operating outside of what the norms for the industry are. If it is shown that BP is operating outside of the norms they will have a lot of questions to answer and a lot more responsibility to take.
