Are the mass animal die offs connected to the world's large oil spills?

As our governments and scientists say they don't know why the animals are dying, the map above demands further examination in the search for the truth behind the mass animal die offs in our environment.  The canary in the mine references are too obvious to ignore here, literally.  If for whatever reason you can't see the above map showing where around the world there are reports of large numbers of birds, fish and other wild life dying, washing up on shores or falling from the sky.  The map's link is

Three quick points of observation.


There is a large number of animal die offs north of the BP Deepwater Horizion Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico.


There is a secondary cluster along the Asian side of the Pacific Rim.  China had her second largest oil spill ever in July, 2010 in the Yellow Sea.


I was ready to write this off as coincidence until I noticed the cluster in Europe, just about where the Gulf Stream ends.  


Just asking.  


Are the mass animal die offs connected to the 4/20/10 BP Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill and the July, 2010 Oil Spill in the Yellow Sea?


What do you think?
