Environmentalists said they also found 31 of the wide-ranging migratory penguins dead off the Atlantic coast, some 375 miles southeast of Buenos Aires. That's a long way from Argentina something just isn't right!  http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/nation...in_Deaths.html | ||||||||||||||||||||||

 | This link shows the routes these bird take. http://www.falklandsconservation.com...s/pengmig.html I think it is possible they swam through the oil exploration areas north of the Falkland Islands (where they migrated from)and picked up the crude.

The bible has archaic views on animals so no one gives a fuck. Too bad.

| In the wild, most species of penguin will be extinct within the next 50 years because of us. The only ones currently safe are the Antarctic penguins, because there are no humans there. It's sad that we are killing off this planets creatures with our greed. This isn't necessity. Oil isn't necessary. We are capable of so much more than this. Our Task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, the whole of nature, and its beauty.
