oil spill aggravation

Death is plaguing our ocean life. I find it difficult to 'swallow' that it is not a large number of animals that have died from this oil spill. There should be something done to stop the spill. A temporary solution until a real solution can be found... something! I am so very upset about this whole thing. I do not know what to do, but that is why I am not a BP engineer. Fix your problem, because it is not just your problem. It is all of our problem. The whole world will suffer because of this disaster you have let happen. Figure it out! This site: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100616/ap_on_re_us/us_gulf_oil_spill_marine_life_2 said that there were 783 birds, 353 turtles, and 41 mammals that have been found dead so far, and that this was not a large number of animals; yes it is a very large number of animals!!! Think about if there were 1170 people to have died from this oil spill in less than two months, where would the government be in fixing the problem?! There were 2976 people to die in the attack on 9/11. That is only 1799 difference, and that does not count the fish that have died. No, I did not say it was the same, I said imagine if these dead animals were people.
I am so frustrated with this that I do not even know who to be more angry with, BP or our government. I have always trusted that our government had our best interest in mind, but what about now? Who are they thinking about now? Who is here to help the ocean life that we are so willing to kill off and not lose a tear over? Who is here to protect them and worry about them. I know that president Obama has so much to try to make right, but if BP can not fix this problem, try to bring others in to try to fix it. Work together because it is no longer just a problem for BP, it is a problem for us all.
