This Letter was written and Delivered to the Zoo Along with our Supplies Today!!
July 2, 2010Dear Ms. Hall and staff:
The supplies delivered today to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, “The Little Zoo” That Could”, are donated by the public through the sponsorship of the Dollar General Store in Elberta, Alabama. They were given to a recently organized project called “Lemon ‘Aid’4 Wildlife” to be taken to the zoo. You can find out more about the Lemonade Stand by visiting the website : http://bpoilpocalypse.blogspot.com/2010/06/lemonade-stand-details.html
The lemonade stand was started by Michele Walker-Harmon with her children, Katie and Cody, as they wanted to do something to help the injured and damaged animals as a result of the horrific oil spill. The family is native to Orange Beach but now reside in Elberta. They originally designated the proceeds to go to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab Animal Rescue but have now decided to also split the proceeds with the animal rescue effort of the Zoo. There are several more lemonade stand events planned for the next few weeks in front of several Dollar General Stores in the area with permission from their corporate office. They will be held on Saturdays. We will continue to bring supplies to you as they are donated.
If you would like to contact Michele she can be reached at her cell # 213-4884 or by email: seachele420@gmail.com

The Walker Family Fishing Legacy .... BP's Oil and How it affects My Family and Charter Fishing in Orange Beach
My family Legacy is tied to the Gulf Of Mexico. Back in the early 1900's the Walker's along with several other families settled in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. The Walker brothers started the Charter Fishing Industry in Orange Beach. My Great grandfather helped Pioneer the Tourist industry along the South Alabama Coast. I grew up on... See More boats shrimping and fishing in the very waters that BP's Oil is now destroying. The very legacy that I had wanted my children to share has now been forever altered. My families Legacy will die right along with all the wildlife caught up in BP's Oil. I am glad that my great grand father Capt. Roy E. Walker who would have been 100 isn't alive to see his blood sweat a tears destroyed by the carelessness and negligence of a few.
So if you still aren't sure how the Oil spill will affect me personally... The Walker Family Charter Fishing Legacy is no more Orange Beach and the Beautiful Gulf Waters that surround her will now be a graveyard not only for the animals, but for the hopes and dreams of thousands of people along the Coast . Michele Walker-Harmon aka@seachele420 on twitter
· I agree that we all must accept some responsiblity in this disaster because of our dependace on oil. However I feel the brunt of the responsibility lies at the feet of BP. Their Negligence led to this . Surviors hve reported to Anderson Cooper from CNN they were told to take short cuts the day of the explosion, By #BP officals on the rig. Now the ... See More EPA has allowed them to continue the use of Corexit 9500 which was banned from use in the UK 10 years ago, because its toxic to humans and Wildlife. This Toxic soup could possibly wipe out life as we know it in the Gulf and along our shorelines. The Brown# Pelican was just removed from the Endangered Species list Aprox. 7 months ago. Now thanks to this Spill they may become extinct. Not only will #Corexit build up in the systems of birds and other wildlife it can be passed on Generationally. The just 1 single drop of Crude oil currently washing into nesting grounds on an egg is enough to kill the chick still growing inside. The Blue Fin Tuna which most marine biologists agree are already in danger from commercial over fishing are now faced with a deadlier threat... BP's oil . The Blue Fin Tuna Spawn this time of year off the coast of LA. where the oil is currently spilling. Oh and 5 out of 7 of the worlds most endangered seaturtle species also make their homes in our coastal waters . Sorry don't mean to rant just really passionate about our home and our wildlife. It is also causing internal bleeding in fish and " UNDERWATER PLUMES" which are depleting the oxygen in the Gulf right off of Perdido Pass!!!!
