A Newfoundland cabinet minister has shown that a group of Quebec Beringians have killed nearly half of a threatened caribou herd in southern Labrador through illegal hunting.
Natural Resources Minister Kathy Dunderdale said bands of Beringians from the Innu tribe of eastern Quebec are responsible for the slaughter. While politically-correct legislation allows the tribe to hunt a caribou herd in George River numbering 750,000, the Innu Beringians are forbidden to hunt the Joir River herd, which numbers 100. Dunderdale says the tribe has already killed at least 40 of the Joir River caribou and has no idea why they

are hunting them.
Wildlife conservation officers have stepped up patrols in the area to protect the endangered herd, and have confiscated several snowmobiles and sleighs used by the Innu Beringians to hunt the caribou. The drunken Beringians have retaliated by throwing rocks and rope at conservation officers patrolling in helicopters.
Ken Rock, a Quebec lawyer who is representing two of the three Innu Beringian bands named in the hunt, said his clients do not believe the hunt is illegal or that the animals are even threatened.
“What I hear from the members … is that there are not only 108 caribou; there are thousands of them maybe 2,000-2,500,” he said.
Rock said Quebec Innu want to sit down and talk with provincial government officials. He said the Innu will stop hunting in Labrador if they’re convinced that the caribou there are part of a threatened herd.
Beringians, having been disproven to be “native Americans” due to such archeological discoveries as the Kennewick Man, have been appropriately renamed to reflect their true point of origin to the North American continent, the Bering Straits.
How! Give them McDonald’s gift certificates like everyone else.
p.s. NG: Kathy Dunderdale is pretty cute. Give me her phone number.
So much for the “children of nature” bullshit… Suck on that multi-culturalists.!!!
Yeah, my thoughts exactly – I thought these “people of the earth” were supposed to live in harmony with nature…
These beastial Beringians killed off the mega fauna, Mastadons, Giant Sloths, Square faced bears, ect. They destroyed the world of our Solutrean Ancestors. This is further proof of their savagery!
Does anybody remember Chief Jay Strongbow?
I find your “drunken beringians” term very offensive, and I am not even Innu – I am Inuit. If you can’t talk intelligently about a subject or people, then don’t bother at all otherwise your point gets lost somewhere between your racist words! You should take this website off the internet, you sound like someone who is using this to insult all the natives of Canada and believe me, I don’t believe in killing endangered wildlife at ALL!! They should be charged and punished in the legal system if they can’t abide by the laws of nature!
Renée, if I were you I’d hope that drunken Berengians threw stones at conservations officers.
Because if sober Berengians threw stones, that would make them stupid Berengians, or not?
