Shocking Pictures of Wildlife, Birds and Sea Creatures Caught in Gulf of Mexico Oil Catastrophe

A picture is worth a thousands words. Let your heart be broken with the things that break God's heart. I am at a loss for words as I looked at these shocking pictures of wildlife, birds, and sea creatures caught in the Gulf of Mexico oil castastrophe that those in charge have been dragging their feet over resolving.  These pictures will break your heart and God's heart.

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind  Job 12:7-10

The animals, birds and sea creatures tell and teach us so much about God, ourselves, and the world around us.  We only need to open up our eyes and see.


The disaster is taking a toll on the oil-drenched sea life and birds, especially brown pelicans.
