I read this good report on the white flippered penguins because penguins are my favorite animals heres what they had to say Quote: THREATS: The key land-based threats to this penguin continue to be predation by introduced predators and habitat degradation by human activities. At sea, white-flippered penguins have been frequently caught in nearshore set nets, especially around Motunau Island. A large oil spill would be disastrous to this penguin, and the threat is high because the birds nest in areas near shipping lanes. Like all penguins, this bird is also severely threatened by global warming, which reduces prey availability.

I think that it's so sad to see pictures of all those animals that get caught in oil spills. I was watching the discovery channel once (or was it animal planet?) and they said that the oil that animals can get stuck in is so dense, that it stops them from breathing and it's really hard on them.
I just feel so bad for these poor animals that have to suffer because of what we do.

This is very true. I am a vegetarian for reasons like this. I am a vegetarian because I have compassion for animals and I just can't stand eating an animal, and I also do it for the enviroment....I am a hippie so I do a lot of things for the enviroment. 3nodding heart
Peace and Love,
