The aftermath of the Cosco Busan allision with the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge yesterday is causing more and more problems today. Spilled bunker fuel has now killed animals in San Francisco. Some seals, diving ducks and other wildlife appear to be O.K., but they could be coated with lighter-weight petroleum. You can't see it, but it's deadly enough anyway.

Imagine peanut butter mixed in with tar and used motor oil - that's what this stuff feels like. It won't come off easily. Not without a lot of work.

Good luck, animals.
