Phoebe Sutherland rushed last week to capture a stray dog that nipped an elder in her community of Moose Cree First Nation. It was the latest instance of issues springing from a growing population of dogs on the island at the southern tip of James Bay after veterinary services that used to spay and neuter canines paused visits during the pandemic.
Phoebe Sutherland rushed last week to capture a stray dog that nipped an elder in her community of Moose Cree First Nation.
"We had an elder startled, scared, barked at and nipped. She was pretty shaken up," said Sutherland, an animal control officer in the community. "I captured him, but there's still a lot of dogs that are loose." "You see dogs everywhere. There's constant barking," said Dickson, 41. "Now it's mating season, so it's gotten a lot more dangerous."
"We're still spinning since the delivery because we were already over capacity. We've already taken in so many litters," said Jill Pessot, who has been operating the organization called Petsave for 23 years.
