After seeing the heartbreaking images of birds, turtles, and other marine life struggling in the wake of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, some angry people are looking for a way to express their outrage. PETA has captured that public outrage with a new T-shirt that just went on sale last week. The shirt features a cartoon image of an oil-soaked pelican raising an irreverently "ruffled" feather alongside the words "Give BP the Bird."

All proceeds from the sales of the T-shirt will support PETA's efforts to protect wildlife. The shirt can be ordered at PETA's store on CafePress.com.
