And now:Ish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Labrador to launch study into contaminated game WebPosted Mon Sep 13 11:29:32 1999 http://newsworld.cbc.ca/cgi-bin/templates/view.cgi?/news/1999/09/13/innugame990913 ST. JOHN'S, NFLD. - The federal government with partners in Labrador is conducting a three-year study into contaminated game animals after an informal study last winter showed abnormal levels of toxic contaminants in caribou and ducks. RELATED STORY: Veterinary study finds contaminated game in Labrador http://www.cbcnews.cbc.ca/cgi-bin/templates/view.cgi?/news/1999/05/12/lab_vets990512 The first study was conducted by the Atlantic Veterinary College after Innu in Labrador complained that something is changing the taste of the animals they hunt for food. The Innu Nation and the Atlantic Veterinary College are joining the federal government in the indepth study. John Van Leuwen, one of the researchers for the college says the aim of the study is to help the Innu avoid contaminated meat. He says until the study is complete Innu hunters should be careful with the animals they select for food. "If they catch anything that looks out of the ordinary at all in terms of meat colour or that the liver just doesn't look quite right to them, or something like that, then they might want to hesitate in consuming that animal," Van Leuwen says. The study won't look at the effects on Innu health or where the contaminants are coming from. It's believed that airbourne pollutants from industrial centres may be to blame.
