Our Opinion

BP (British Petroleum) is on the Cruelty Free Investing use of animals list due to its Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill which caused severe harm to ecosystems. In 2013 it was reported that dolphins and other marine life continued to die in record numbers with infant dolphins dying at six times the normal rate, and half the dolphins examined in a December 2013 study were seriously ill or dying.
