Nobody keeps track of worldwide animal deaths each year. So lets do some estimating.

For humans estimates range as high as 40% of the worlds deaths are attributable to non specific forms of pollution. The problem of arriving at a figure is to determine if pollution is directly, indirectly or marginally related to any specific death. Based on this rate, here is an estimate of the incidence of death among people now living in the world with the equivalent pollution related rates is 56.0 million deaths per year (from all causes) with 14 million/yr from some pollution related causes.

There are more animals from people and so there is a larger number of animal deaths.

animals have to eat the oil and they die from a horrible death so that is why we have to get rid of garbage island
