Yes, they ignore the pipeline because it was built so that they COULD
walk under them. Many types of tundra animals use the EXACT same route
and have for thousands of years. I've been to many many drilling rigs
also. They are nasty, stinky, they use a lot of chemicals in the
process, and you can't tell me that wildlife would thrive in that
environment.
Wildlife do fine around people. They have a huge deer problem in
downtown Washington DC. I damned near hit two of them on the
Whitehurst freeway. (Georgetown)
I have also flown at low altitude over arrays of wind turbines and was
appalled at how destructive they were to the environment. Each
required a road to service the turbine regularly and the turbines were
like ugly blotches on the ridges. By contrast, the average
producing oil well can barely be noticed even from low altitude and
gas wells are even more invisible.
So, gas and oilwells don't need servicing? Funny, every one I've ever
seen has a road going to it......
The biggest danger to caribou in that situation is getting hit by a
truck.
Normally the biggest danger to caribou is they get killed by wolves
but you folks got mad when the people in Alaska tried to thin out the
wolves so I am confused. Do you really give a **** about caribou or is
this just another way to demonize oil companies?
WHOOOOOSH.......
So, let me get this straight. Because nature is what it is, and yes,
wolves eat caribou, you think that we should do anything and
everything to make sure we kill them all........just because in the
wild there is natural selection? Did you get that directly from Rush,
because that's just a dumb position. Unfortunately disease kills
children. Does that mean that we should stop keeping poison out of
their reach?
What the **** are you talking about. Nobody said anything about "kill
them all". You keep planting red herrings in your arguments and putting
words in folks mouths, it's just crazy. The point is you all cry when a
caribou has to walk under or around a pipe or pumping station, but if a
republican tries to hunt a bigger predator, you go nuts, just because
it's a republican. It's Harry all over again, and again...
You're not making any sense pertaining to this conversation. Natural
selection has nothing to do with the fact that man is decimating the
environment lock stock and barrel.,
