I think that it is horrible that one oil spill can do so much damage. First, animals eat it and die, so fish is harder to find, and as the animal gets eaten it spreads to that animal, and so on.

Sophia siad,

It is quite terrible to think that so many animals die for one oil spill The animals can eat fish or other prey that have eating oil and get sick or die. The animals are suffering greatly. It is so sad. I would like to help.

This is the outcome of a stupid mistake. Somebody has accidentally made a leak into the tanker and the oil goes into the sea. The animals eat the oil and get sick..., very, very sick. I agree with Josh and Sophia and this is a very tough thing to watch animals suffer because of this. This also causes people to work harder to get there food because they can't just fish for it anymore.
