Arfin, In November 2023, over a million gallons of crude oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico, devastating the local environment and subjecting countless wildlife to horrific pain and suffering — and possibly entire species to extinction.
This is devastating. A spill of this magnitude creates long lasting negative effects on the environment, contaminating the water and any living thing that depends on it for habitat and food. To make matters worse, the Gulf of Mexico is home to some of the most endangered species on Earth, like the Rice's Whale of which there are only 50 left alive. Kemp's Ridley sea turtles, the most endangered sea turtles in the world, were just seen hatching for the first time in 75 years near the oil spill! Now, these already vulnerable animals could be lost forever due to human greed for oil and horrific errors. Over a dozen federal agencies have been working tirelessly to help clean up this spill. But the company responsible, Main Pass Oil Gathering Company (MPOG), must bear 100% of the cost of the cleanup. Period. Sign the petition if you agree!
