Huffington Post: South Korea Ferry Evacuation Delay Puzzles Experts

Posted: 20 Apr 2014 09:09 AM PDT

MOKPO, South Korea (AP) — It is a decision that has maritime experts stumped and is at odds with standard procedure: Why were the passengers of the doomed South Korean ferry told to stay in their rooms rather than climb on deck?

Evacuations can be chaotic and dangerous, and an important principle in maritime circles is that even a damaged ship may be the best lifeboat. But car ferries like the Sewol, which left about 300 people missing or dead when it sank Wednesday, are different.

Huffington Post: 10 Animals Who Are Still Hurting From The BP Oil Spill

Posted: 20 Apr 2014 09:12 AM PDT

It's been four years since BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and sending more than 200 million gallons of crude oil gushing into the water. The public outrage has largely died down, as have the EPA restrictions on federal contracts for BP. But the devastating effects on the area's wildlife persist.

Oil is still washing up on the Louisiana shores, and severe damages to the ecosystem are still observable miles away from the Macondo well. The long-term impact of oil spills, unfortunately, reflects a sobering reality that we can expect to see for years; wildlife in the Prince William Sound has not fully recovered from the Exxon Valdez oil spill 25 years ago, and pollution from a 1969 Cape Cod oil spill was still detected as recently as 2010.

Huffington Post: Animal Welfare Activists Picket Liam Neeson's Home Over New York City Horse Carriage Ban

Posted: 20 Apr 2014 09:19 AM PDT

NEW YORK (AP) — Animal welfare activists picketing Liam Neeson's home on Saturday said they don't agree with him that the city's carriage horses should keep working.

Neeson didn't appear as about 50 demonstrators filled the sidewalk in front of his apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Police watched, and doormen photographed protesters hoisting signs with such slogans as "Liam Neeson: Stop Supporting Cruelty!" and "Worked to Death!" with an image of a dead horse in a park.

Holding the second sign was Peter Wood, an animal protection investigator for various organizations that say it's cruel for the horses to be subjected to traffic, pollution and possible accidents.
