| Santa Barbara Area Oil Spill 2015, Refugio - Photo by John Wiley CC |
I used to live near the Refugio (Reh- foo gee oh) State Beach. I went horseback riding in the hills above. The photographs of the oil-covered animals are breaking my heart. The Lucy Nicholson photo of an *oil covered pelican* flying until it won't be able fly, live, or breathe anymore. See that photo and more at this link:

I'm reading that this oil company failed many tests over many years and did NOT have the auto-shut off it was supposed to have. As I recall the BP Spill in the gulf was the result of the same thing: Laws on the books NOT BEING enforced.
