Uh, sorry, stupid, but the MILLIONS of dollars spent fixing what happened with the Exxon Valdez went to alot more than the saving of one deer. That oilspill wreaked havoc on a habitat that will take decades to get it back to where it was. It can have worldwide repercussions with an oilspill that massive if not cleaned up to the best of their ability. Pull your head out of your ass and think about it next time or do some research, you'll see where the money went. I'll give you one little hint, it wasn't all to help the animals.

These several DEERS were given the best care, and nurtured back to health then air lifted again back to be released......In the same exact time frame a street person froze to death on a grate in downtown Anchortown. No worries, he was just a street drunk afterall. Hmmm several Deer, one dead drunk.
You replied: I think there is an important difference here. The deer had no choice about food and it wasn't their fault that oil was spilled, contaminating everything in site and ruining their habitat. It was a man made disaster. The street person who froze to death made his choices. He didn't have to be a drunk, do drugs, refuse to work for a living or live on the streets.
I'm gonna have to stand by my statement that you are the most ignorant poster of the day. You are correct that the drunk made his choices, still I'm certain that he would've greatly appreciated 1/10000th (yes ten thousandth, helicopter airlifts are really expensive) of the money being spent to save "several deer" giving him a warm place to NOT die. I have no deep love for homeless, but I freely admit I'd rather see a PERSON saved than a hundred deer. Wanna try for two in a row?
