Quebec Innu slaughtering rare caribou, minister says

By DENE MOORE
Canadian Press

St. John's � A group of Quebec Innu have killed up to half of a herd of threatened Labrador caribou in a bizarre bid to force the Newfoundland government to recognize their land claim.

It's �sheer madness and lunacy� said the province's Minister of Natural Resources.

�This hunt will not be tolerated,� Ed Byrne said Tuesday. �They undertook nothing less than what I would describe as a slaughter of the caribou in this area.�

Over the past several years, members of various Quebec Innu groups have been charged with hunting in a restricted area near Cache River in western Labrador, home to the Red Wine River caribou.

1. Fuck me running.

I hate these issues. Ya'll came in and took my peoples land. Then did worse yet.

Now I have to pit the envronmentalist me against the "native" me.

I end up wanting to slap the fuck out of both of ya'll and then recommend more beer for both groups.
