The Newfoundland and Labrador government is dramatically restricting hunting in a Labrador caribou herd that is now less than 10 per cent of its size from two decades ago.

    The changes, however, do not apply to Labrador's aboriginal hunters, who can continue to hunt without restriction.

    "We can not limit the number of animals they harvest or the time of year or so on," said Johnson, who cited the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as the reason for the exemption.


    Good Charter we've got there.

    The Charter also has no restrictions on how many caribou the bears can kill.

    I don't think bears are mentioned. Doubt if bears are a major source of predation on cariboo - too hard to catch. Wolves otoh are, and we've gone about decimating them for years - doesn't help the cariboo tho it seems, which lived in balance with wolves before humans ever set foot on the continent.
