Forget the panda bears Turtles are in!!!!!

We all know the devastating news about the oil spill, but do we all really know the many victims of it. One of the common animal victims are turtles. there are seven major types of turtles in the world and four of them happen to inhabit near the coast. Their nests are endangered. The eggs might hatch in the oil spill giving the baby turtles no chance of survival. This is particularly sad because this is what the human race has become, we are chasing off other species, killing their communities.
But so what who cares right??? well we should extinction is not funny and oil is definitely not a good reason for it. as humans we are known for endangering species, we replace their nutrients in their ecosystems, we take what we need by robbing animals at no cost, and this time even the babies don't have a chance. This is wrong because who knows what major corruption we might cause to the food chain in that environment. If turtles go extinct some other specie will have to hunt for something else or even migrate to find food and eventually get use to their new environment unlike what nature intended. Let's think of it this way, nature is a big, wonderful puzzle made up of microorganisms bacteria animals trees and all and all. If we remove even the slightest piece to this puzzle than it no longer makes sense, it becomes incomplete and surely and truly nature will not be as we know it anymore, because somethings we cant pull out of thin air.
But there is hope, scientists have saved over seven hundred turtle eggs from the stream of oil. Some eggs are taken to other places to mature than they would be released back in their environment. they have up signs warning people not to disturb the eggs along the seashore in the sand.
