Well the good news is once that Caribou heard is completely gone you can stop worrying your pretty little head about it. I mean at one point there were thousands and now there are 11. So it shouldn't be long.


The good news will be when the bands quit looking for hand outs and free money.

$1:
I mean after a few tens of thousands of years those caribou should realize that they had a good run and now its time to go the way of the dodo bird. And the wolves that ate them ... the plants and bugs that lived off their waste ... the birds and animals that ate the plants and bugs...and someday your kids who want to swim in the lake or drink the water from it.

Does anyone remember a day when you could just go to a river, lake or stream and jump in and feel safe drinking it or bathing? Or even eating the fish...

Here is the kicker...we are in that food chain. Bottom line is if these Natives didn't care about the caribou, would you?


Ya missed it, Sparky. They don't give a rats ass about the 11 caribou. They want free cash. Period. I lived in the middle of that place for 12 years,and listened to ALL of the bullshit with these cases so don't bother arguing with me.


We have the same BS going on in the states.

It is too bad that society has degraded to such a low moral standard that we cannot protect the earth’s resources without accusing each other of having our hands out.

It is those with low moral fibre who offer hostility and distain without a solution; accuse the Natives of having their hands out but offer no objective answers to the questions about the extinction of another heard of animals and the pollution of our environment.

You will be long dead and buried when our children’s childern’s children are suffering through cleaning the mess you helped make – I’m sure they will care that the stewards of the land got a few extra pennies for their concern for the environment.

FYI there are many, many people concerned about the environment, and many people who are still alive who lived off the land who remember the days when the plants and animals and fish and the water were all part of the same system and we depended on them for survival.

Guess what sparky, we still do… try argue with that.

There are good people of all colours doing good things out there, or at least trying too. Don’t let your prejudices interfere with that.

"Only when the last tree has withered, the last fish has been caught, and the last river has been poisoned, will you realize you cannot eat money."

Um, wouldn't it be easier to trap the 11 caribou and move them to join up with a larger herd elsewhere? Between predators, old age and disease this herds days are pretty much numbered.

According to this report, the herd was at a count of 18 for 2001-2002. So long before the coal company showed up, there were signs of these caribou being endangered.

Which makes it more puzzling the count that First Coal is claiming.

Ummm...the story doesnt say the band is claiming the mine is "their land" nor that they're demanding any cash, just that they want it stopped so it doesnt kill off the Caribou herd...so where are you coming from on this story?
