In the wake of the biggest oil disaster, BP has been trying to hide dead birds and animals. It's doing that to avoid fines of $50,000 per dead animal.
Jerry Cope and Charles Hambleton at the Huffington Post report: "Scores of animals were fleeing the leading edge of toxic dispersant mixed with oil. Those not either caught in the toxic mixture and killed out at sea, or fortunate enough to be out in safe water beyond the Source, died as the water closed in, and they were left no safe harbor. The numbers of birds, fish, turtles, and mammals killed by the use of Corexit will never be known as the evidence strongly suggests that BP worked with the Coast Guard, the Department of Homeland Security, the FAA, private security contractors, and local law enforcement, all of which cooperated to conceal the operations disposing of the animals from the media and the public. The majority of the disposal operations were carried out under cover of darkness. The areas along the beaches and coastal Islands where the dead animals were collected were closed off by the U.S. Coast Guard. On shore, private contractors and local law enforcement officials kept off limits the areas where the remains of the dead animals were dumped, mainly at the Magnolia Springs landfill by Waste Management where armed guards controlled access. The nearby weigh station where the Waste Management trucks passed through with their cargoes was also restricted by at least one sheriff's deputies in a patrol car, 24/7."
Back in June, the Christian Science Monitor reminded us that under US laws, BP would be liable for up to $50,000 per dead animal on the endangered species list, such as a Kemp's Ridley turtle.
The US administration is colluding with BP with reports that the Department of Justice has stopped scientists from studying the BP disaster.
This is a cover up on the scale of what the Russians did after Chernobyl.
