those are tiny fish in a small stream, the photo was taken with a wide angle lense to give the illusion of grand size. In reality, no big deal, no connection to oil spill, happens often.

I wonder how much BP paid to have the blame deflected...or could the state merely be trying to prevent folks from knowing how badly polluted their waters really are?

OK, so if the water was so polluted it killed the fish, why is all the vegitation around it ALIVE?

Jesus jumpingfish Christ. Is everyone now just about blaming others for something? Fish kills are common.
I can't imagine how many of you would cry yourselves to sleep at night if you knew how many poor defenseless animals die everyday from natural causes.
Oh I know one. It's really a cover up from the oil industry, but the salmon in Alaska don't really die after mating and releasing their eggs. the die because of all the oil drilling and spills there.

Actually salmon die after mating because it completes their lifecyle. They then migrate to the processing centers where they become pate, mouse, filets, canned chunk and stocks.

:rolleyes:

Water that is polluted enough to cause fish kills wouldn't necessarily be polluted enough to kill all the surrounding vegetation. Are you this retarded naturally, or do you have to work at it? :p

The water doesn't even have to be so polluted that it's toxic to the fish...just enough to cause the drop in oxygenation levels by killing off the small critters that live in the mud on the bottom...

BUT, of course, since I'm just trolling, it doesn't matter what the actual cause may be...it's still BP's fault...
