The people who were affected by the oil spill won't know the full extent of the effects and/or their losses until sometime in the future. Same as in the Exxon oil spill. Until their issues are resolved, all of them, no one should receive a dividend or a bonus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194375569044391746.post-5725488432749993582010-11-20T01:01:29.404-05:002010-11-20T01:01:29.404-05:00Great post!

I understand that some shareholders might view this as unfair but we cannot let the environment and innocent lives (animals) be harmed more. Money is one think but our environmental must survive as well. Therefore clean-up and environmental concerns should be one the top of the list irrespective of shareholders rights. This was the fault of BP and they must take responsibility to those harmed innocently before distrusting dividends to shareholders etc…. The animals need to be protected!Jennifer L (FIU)noreply@blogger.com
