Purring for wildlife
We wanted to ask everybody to purr for the 11 workers who are missing and presumed dead when the oil rig they were on off the coast of Louisiana burst into flames April 20 as well as the 17 other workers who were injured and the oil is still spewing into the Gulf of Mexico and harming wildlife.
Please purr for the wildlife. The oil spill may affect Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida
If you don't know about the oil rig explosion and the resulting oil spill and want to know more you can read about it in The Sun Herald. This has the potential to do far more damage to wildlife then Hurricane Katerina did and much of the wildlife is just now recovering from Hurricane Katerina, this is all very sad. ~AFSS
