     The U.S fish and wildlife service have collected 4676 birds as of Tuesday that were victums of the BP well blowout since April 20. Around 3000 of the 4676 birds collected were dead and the rest were clearly affected by the oilspill. The service has sent the live birds to rehabilitation centers in various parts of the U.S in order to recover their health. The birds will undergo a series of washings, feedings and the collection of vital health information. The birds will be released back into the wild once they have replenished their natural body oils and have recovered; the birds are to be released near the coast where they are not likely to get oiled again.

     This article reflects the sad but true fact that humans are slowly damaging the world by destroying the balance of nature. This oilspill; however, is not entirely the corporation's fault, it is also the general public's fault. It is our demands and wants that the corporation's are following in order to make profit, this shows how humans are greedy and irresponsible. Humans take resources from the environment without thinking of the consequences, this is how global warming first developed. Humans, although being the most superior of all species on earth, have destroyed the natural balance. Humans keep thinking of ways to gain more power and it is this will that has put us through evolution at a much faster pace than any other beings. While humans have been evolving at a much faster pace, we have also distorted the balance of the natural world. Ultimately, humans have not stopped to consider the damage they are causing to not just their environment, but the same environment that is shared by trillions of other species. The damage done can not be reversed but we can preserve what is left and it starts with one person changing their demands.
