“Let’s boycott BP” The Indiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA) is leading an international boycott of BP products (www.boycottbp.com and www.bpcruelty.com ). For years, ISPCA has protested the BP oil refinery in Whiting, Indiana , and now the Hoosier organization goes global to protect our animals and environment The British company daily dumps significant amounts of ammonia and industrial sludge into Lake Michigan, running counter to years of efforts to clean up the Great Lakes. It is destroying our healthy way of life. “Our environment once again got screwed, “ says Walfredo de Freitas, director of ISPCA “Even if we were in Brazil, a corrupted Third World country, BP’s executives and some officials would be behind bars”. Washington (DC), Indiana regulators and BP executives are friends. Closed friends. BP is one of the largest polluters along the Great Lakes -- it can release 54 percent more ammonia and 35 percent more sludge into Lake Michigan each day. Ammonia promotes algae blooms that can kill fish, while sludge is full of concentrated heavy metals. ISPCA pleaded with BP to install more effective pollution controls at the nation's fourth-largest refinery, which rises above the lakeshore about 3 miles southeast of the Illinois-Indiana border.
