Um, they are animals, millions of them. Please, at least in this moment of desperation, acknowledge that they are animals, who have important roles to play in threatened ecosystems, which also play important roles in our little world. We should perhaps be more concerned presently with the loss of irreplaceable natural habitat, than the loss of crab cakes.
This disaster will be no doubt greatly effecting my life directly, as it is posed to destroy the very ecosystem I am supposed to be studying in one month. I am getting paid to work on subtidal oyster reefs, they are sessile animals, they can't exactly move out of the way. If they are coated with oil, they will no doubt die, as will most of their inhabitants. Like our friend here, Mr. Blue Crab.
