I hope you’re not serious. If you are, that’s a pretty uneducated statement. There is a reason it’s called a “Wildlife Refuge.” From the US Fish & Wildlife’s web site:
“Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was established to preserve unique wildlife, wilderness and recreational values; to conserve caribou herds, polar bears, grizzly bears, muskox, dall sheep, wolves, wolverines, snow geese, peregrine falcons, other migratory birds, dolly varden, and grayling; to fulfill international treaty obligations; to provide opportunities for continued subsistence uses; and to ensure necessary water quality and quantity.”

Go to the website and get educated a bit before you make statements like that.
