The vulchers are circling

The Gulf is wounded right now. Its natural resource is battered and its human resource is tested… but it’s still alive.

This is the time when you would expect vulchers to show up... and wouldn’t you know it they have. Greenpeace is on its way, Food and Water Watch is there and now the Center for Science in the Public Interest is circling—all looking to capitalize on a weakened Gulf.

Each will talk about its role in striving for better public health or its effort to protect the ecosystem, but what each is really doing is exploiting a tragedy in order to forward its own policy goals.

Center for Science in the Public Interest will slam an already injured oyster community.

Food and Water Watch will use this opportunity to bash imports.

Greenpeace will be on the scene soon for a photo op that is sure to become a fundraising campaign.

Here’s an idea, if these groups really want to help rather than just exploit the Gulf community for their own purposes, why don’t they get together and make a significant donation to Friends of the Fishermen?
