Utah Oil Spill (PHOTOS): 500 Barrels Spill Into Red Butte Creek After Pipeline Breaks
This is one of my favorite places to walk the dog. Almost uncountable ducks, geese and other birds call it home. In addition to the huge pond there are fountains, streams and little ponds, lawns, huge old trees, hills, an island gazebo, an aviary, rides and playgrounds, paddle boats, tennis, pool and a historical building/museum. From before dawn to late evening you'll find the park filled with folks walking, riding bikes, running, playing with kids and dogs, relaxing and all manner of fun activities. But even more, the birds are there 24/7, raising little ones, enjoying the clean water and lush grounds, living in peace among the people. Until now...
Thanks to the folks at Chevron, it's over. Poisoned. And the fowl who lived there in trust are fighting for their lives.
I know it pales in comparison to the gulf, but it's the same kind of destruction, the same death brought to us by the people who make more than any other companies in history. Greed is more important than safety, integrity, environment and lives.
