Polar Bear and cub comes out of hibernation in the middle of an oil field

Sad image that this story gives of the great Alaskan wilderness. This mother polar bear and cub are caught on camera coming out of their hibernation den, to find that the desert island had become an oil rig construction site.

How much more of nature will we destroy? especially for oil!
