I just read this blog post about loose dogs on reservations. I found it very interesting and would love to hear others' thoughts. It's a new perspective I hadn't thought about because I'm a white woman and I know nothing about Native or Reservation life. Does anyone have any other resources to learn more?

i didn't see anything in the suggested article promoting a spay/neuter program on reservations (https://yakimahumane.org/services/spay-neuter/)

Free roaming dogs is fine if tribal councils will tolerate them but the fact is that litters of puppies from the Yakima Nation are ending up here in Seattle thus putting pressure on our  shelters  (Bellingham to Olympia) and not just to get our local dogs adopted.

I see no tribal attempt to start a spay/neuter program on the reservation...this is not a cultural or racism issue, it is an issue of humanity (humanity defined as the elimination of human caused suffering).

All members of society should be able to come to a common sense solution to help eliminate the 3-5million cats & dogs euthanised in the country every year.

Thank you,

Lars Pardo

There ARE actually efforts taking place to provide pet resources there.  The difficulties are the same as everywhere else: not enough money and not enough veterinarians to do spay/neuter surgeries.

With apologies, I am getting way off topic but this is a never-ending challenge. I shall be brief.

We have birth control for a variety of species pigeons & deer for example. Zoos & wildlife parks (eg Kruger) have birth control for lions & wild dogs. 

We all recognise that we need to get ahead of the cat/dog breeding curve. The only realistic solution is non-invasive methods- either sub-cutaneous injectibles or oral birth control - that can be administered by non-professionals. 

If it is not a financial issue  dominated by the 'powers that be' I simply cannot understand why we in the animal community are still waiting.

Thank you.

Thanks for sharing!  Have you watched the movie from CARE?  "The Hummingbird Say So"  is a great documentary.  Maybe it will add to your thoughts.  I do wish that there was funding to support the Reservations animal care but not for it to be taken over by non-indigenous people.  And very good points made by Lars re: over population and need for spay/neuter support.
