I attempted to put out my cry for help the other day. I said donations were needed for many things in the gulf. Said thread received few responses and it was deemed to be BP's responsibility and why SHOULD I HAVE TO DONATE to clean-up their mess?
After seeing the pictures of the oiled birds in abundance on the internet and the teevee, maybe now you have a clue as to why I can only hope. BP isn't going to do jack sh*t about any of this if they have their way and they will likely escape providing any restitution due, you can bet on that.
Please try to donate something, even an old heating pad or a blanket for the sick birds and other animals!
