So the pirates were right after all.
They should be charging big $$$ for any ship that has to pass through their seas.
Food - envoronment destroyed due to greed.
Fishermen who can no longer profit from their trade due to contamination = Pirates!

Cause animals are more important than Africans? That's why over a dozen Ivorians lost their lives.

Some people need to be tried, their assets confiscated and sent as compensation. Their govt should also clean up.

Deny all you want ........

" An official Dutch analysis of samples of the waste carried by the Probo Koala indicate that it contained approximately 2 tonnes of hydrogen sulphide, a killer gas with a characteristic smell of rotten eggs."

Look at the trash we send out to space and the islands of garbage sent out to sea. We are our own enemies and will be our own destruction someday. Do you care, or do you care about the problems we leave our next generations? This must stop!

Big business world wide continue to destroy the waters, air and planet! It must stop before it's too late. All in the name of profit and greed. It must stop! We will exterminate life on this planet someday if this is to continue. America knows all too well what damage has been done and continues to be, in this country in the name of profit and greed by big business. World wide, it must stop before it's too late!!!
