Environmental Suit Accuses BP of Endangering Wildlife
-----------------------------------------------------



Three environmental advocacy groups have filed a lawsuit accusing the
oil giant BP of endangering wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico. The suit
from Defenders of Wildlife, the Gulf Restoration Network and the Save
the Manatee Club says BP has violated the Endangered Species Act by
harming the twenty-seven endangered or threatened animal species in the
Gulf region. Today marks the six-month anniversary of the BP oil spill.
We’ll have more on this story later in the broadcast.
