WARNING: This is one of the most unwatchable videos I've seen in ages. It hurts your eyes, your heart and your soul to see these images of devastation and animal suffering just because a few idiots are not taking care of their billion-business properly.

PLEASE, if it hurts you seeing the disaster this mess has made of the water in the Gulf of Mexico, and most of all, the pain it has caused to the animals, fish and birds and even land animals, DO NOT WATCH. Just know that the casualties have been horrible and many. This HAS to, HAS to, HAS to END!!!
