Should An Oil Company Pay For Dead Birds?

if you eat a chicken(a dead bird), who pays for it?

Automobiles probably kill more birds than the spills have. Even windmills kills birds, hydro-electric dams kills fish, glass windows kills birds, construction of subdivisions displaces habitat... Yes the oil spills have been devastating and some marine life have gone extinct with the spills in the Gulf but it's still a small percentage of the damage done by people. You've probably caused more damage by buying a plastic bottle of water and thereby supporting the bottled water industry. The oil spills are just easy targets.

No, it will just be another excuse to raise the price of gas and we will end up paying for it.

no, because oil companies are inherently greedy, evil, shady, and rich, and rips off the common man to make its billions

Yes, They are careless and not short of money, if they weren't so obsessed with profits we wouldn't be in crisis with fuel prices we are now in
