Makeshift animal morgues 1 minute ago Gulf Coast: Makeshift
animal morgues house oiled and ill creatures
that didn't survive --So far, about 1,000 dead animals -- birds,
turtles and dolphins -- have been reported and they are being kept at
undisclosed locations. 15 Jun 2010 Within each of the animal-rescue
stations set up along the Gulf Coast is a makeshift morgue for oiled
and ill creatures that didn't make it. And behind the scenes,
pathologists and laboratory staff are carefully cataloging each dead
creature as part of larger criminal, civil and scientific inquiries
into how the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has affected animals and their
habitats. Hundreds of birds including pelicans, seagulls, terns and
gannets are being gathered by wildlife teams in an effort both to save
them from their veils of oil and to help them recover from the effects
that it can have on their lungs and digestive systems.

When full impact is realized American people will be sickened at the
toll. Could be a major political/social/economic game changer.
