Recently, a child was killed by a pack of dogs roaming a reserve in Northern Saskatchewan. Sadly, attacks are not that uncommon in these situations. The dog population balloons because these dogs are not cared for or sterilized, and they are left to fend for themselves.
Today, the CBC website featured an article about a local Regina veterinarian who is working to reduce the numbers of northern dogs by spaying and neutering. Dr Lesley Sheppard runs the Remote Area Veterinary Services project. It's so encouraging to see people thinking outside of the box, and willing to do positive measures to improve a grave problem.
