The pipeline they want to build would go right across the migration course of caribou which have been going that way for a many thousands of years.

And the one that ALREADY exists has had NO IMPACT on wildlife.

In fact, the very presence of man has provided the Porcupine Caribou a safer haven in which to calve their young. In fact, it is doubtful that many of these caribou would have been able to survive a series of harsh winters were it not for the intervention of the private oil drillers.

But making the oil drillers responsible for the preservation of that herd is the best guarantee that they will survive.

And that's a mighty fine quid pro quo from my perspective...

Especially since we're talking upwards of a potential 10 BILLION BARRELS OF OIL UP THERE.

In fact, I might have to adopt 20 kids and move up to Alaska just to partake of those PFD payments that would likely double in value as a result.
