Gulf seafood deformities alarm scientists
Along with collapsing fisheries, signs of malignant impact on the regional ecosystem are ominous: horribly mutated shrimp, fish with oozing sores, underdeveloped blue crabs lacking claws, eyeless crabs and shrimp – and interviewees’ fingers point towards BP’s oil pollution disaster as being the cause.

Do you know where the fish you ate came from?
Fish harvested from the Gulf of Mexico have been found with unusual lesions and infections. Two years after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and sank, touching off the worst offshore spill in U.S. history, the latest research into its effects is starting to back up those early reports from the docks: The ailing fish bear hallmarks of diseases tied to petroleum and other pollutants.
Please help the Gulf ecosystem and the people who make a living from the Gulf of Mexico. Demand a Congressional Investigation to get to the truth. Mainstream media is ignoring this issue. Demand that the federal government stop their contracts with BP. Don’t let BP get away so easily from the worse environmental disaster. Dolphins are dying by the hundreds and shrimp are caught without eyes. People are still getting sick. They are back drilling in the Gulf now and nothing has changed to prevent this from happening again. Contact the White House at www.whitehouse.gov/contact.
Please share this photoset……for humanity and the animals of the Gulf of Mexico.
