BP burning sea turtles alive?

According to certain rescue team captains working near the oil spill site, BP in its attempt to burn off the spilled oil is incinerating endangered sea turtles.

Although sea turtles are known to be excellent swimmers turtles in the thickest oil get stuck or trapped. Thanks to the captain and the biologists who were capturing and rescuing heavily oiled turtles near a burn site but then they claimed that when their boat was trying to reach animals trapped in the burn area they were being chased away by the boats involved in the burn.

BP on the other side says that the commanders handling the burns were under orders to halt the operation if turtles or other marine animals are spotted in the vicinity, but turtles, baby turtles in particular are hard to spot.

These turtles are protected by the Endangered Species Act which imposes fines of up to $50,000 per turtle killed but the suspect is that BP is letting these turtles be burnt alive because that way no one would ever know how many of these were actually killed.

Certain evidences also claim that BP has hired rescue teams to lookout for turtles in their burn site. Beyond all criticisms and crap if BP is really concerned about the sea turtles and other animals near the burn sites and taking proper measures to save them its a matter of ecstasy. If not it should at least let voluntary rescue teams to save these rare Kemp's Ridley sea turtles without shooing their ships away.
