Those who are left of the indigenous tribes who had inhabited the area for centuries are suing Texaco for the loss of their way of life and the endangerment of their health, as well as for the cost of their medical treatment and the clean up of their vast lands. During the years of Texaco's exploitation, disease and forced migration reduced one tribe's population from 15,000 to few hundred. If Chevron takes over Texaco, it will be assuming a financial and public-relations nightmare. Like Exxon, Texaco will have to answer for its actions in a court of law. In Ecuador, Texaco intentionally dumped the equivalent of three Exxon Valdez disasters into the environment.
People surely do.
