Oil spills

Sorry I missed a bunch with my blog posts...
But today is a special post! It is about OIL SPILLS!!!!!!!!
Oil spills happen when an oil tanker leaks into the ocean.their are a few more ways
an oil spill can happen. Equipment breaking down may cause it. If the equipment
breaks down, the tanker may get stuck on shallow land. When they start to drive the
tanker again, they can put a hole in the tanker causing it to leak oil.
When country's are at war, one may decide to dump oil into the others oceans.
Terrorists may cause an oil spill becuase they are trying to get their attention, or they are trying to make a point.
Natural disasters (like hurricanes) may cause an oil spill, too. If a hurricane was a couple if miles away, the wids from the hurricane could cause the oil tanker to flip over, pouring  oil out.

Not to put a damper on things, a sad fact about the gulf oil spill is, the National Wildlife Federation reports that already more then 150 threatened or endangered sea turtles are dead. And 316 sea birds, mostly brown pelicans and northern gannets, have been found dead along the Gulf Coast as a result of the spreading oil.
For some reason I wanted to share about oil spills, I don't know why though...
 To lighten things up, im going to put on some funny animal pictures!

I love the polar bear one!!!!
