Why are the animals dying in the gulf?

(If you mean the Gulf of Mexico) The animals in the gulf are dying because of the oil that is in the Gulf. There was a leak in a pipe at the bottom of the ocean, and it spilled more oil out into the ocean. There was more before that though. The whole ocean is polluted. So it's not a surprise that fish and sharks and all of those other sea creatures are dying. If this is not the answer you're looking for, then Sorry!;-)
