I wish I were closer and had the means to help. I can, however, send a few dollars to help the rescue that is helping the dogs. Every little bit helps!

Waiting dogs:
"Apparently" the OSPCA did a "fly-over" with the OPP and decided that the dogs were feral and that nothing could be done One Feral Dog: Another Sweetie My Modem is literally smokin' ....there are tons of photos on the facebook site if you would like to see more. http://www.facebook.com/?sk=messages...3663&topic=507 |

you're kidding me ! Even let's say these dogs are ferals , it's their responsability to "control" ... not leave them in the woods to procreate !

We already have had proof that the OSPCA (higher ups) has not/is not doing their job. I don't know why we are surprised any more.

Cudos to the woman taking responsibility when it was not her mandate to do so. A hero for me personally though I have no clue who she is. As for the man who died, it saddens me greatly as any life lost is horrendous especially if one loses his/her life trying to save others. I guess no one really knows why there were so many dogs, but worse than that, why the OSPCA turned their backs on a citizen who was struggling. Never mind the animal aspect here...but what about the human aspect? I love animals so much, but I have to tell you I love people as well and cannot understand how humans can turn a blind eye to someone struggling. This story is a tragedy on so many levels. When will human beings start acting like the so called 'superior' beings. I really have to wonder where our world is going and why so much despair and neglect. I wish there was an answer to this as you would think that society would evolve at some point. |

thanks for the pics Chris!
I heard that the OSPCA on the CBC radio program about the dogs said they were there! I missed the radio program though, but that is what someone from Facebook Mile 26 site reported. The group is back up at Mile 26 today trying to capture more dogs. Last night the people from Cochrane transported the dogs they had captured the day before down to North Bay from what I understand.

Chris,I too thank you for the pics,they bring reality to what those dogs must have endured,to stay alive
to all the people helping these poor souls,the OSPCA is obviously doing nothing. Even if some of the dogs are feral.they are still dogs,dogs who to no fault of their own ended up in this very sad situation.

I too thank you for posting these pics. They are obviously not feral dogs as the OSPCA would like people to believe. Maybe they tell themselves that so they can sleep at night.
Super big to those who are helping in this rescue.

TQ -It took about 45 minutes for me to hear the CBC broadcast with the stops and starts on dial-up .....All I managed to pick up from it regarding the OSPCA, is that they were "monitoring the situation which to me means they are doing ZILCH....I too, am monitoring the situation.
Did I miss something more concrete than that? |

I received another email from the UAN:
Dear Chris, Thank you for the information and for the kind words. The Northern Ontario Animal Welfare Society emailed us about this situation on June 7, and because the situation falls outside of UAN’s expertise and program areas, it is not something that UAN can provide a deployment for in the same way that we could help the animal agency provide shelter for the seized sled dogs. We offered several other ways that we could assist NOAWS, and provided some other contacts and referrals. We haven’t heard any updates lately about the situation, so I’m glad you sent their website. Thanks again for writing to UAN and for your involvement to help animals. Karen Brown Director of Programs United Animal Nations P.O. Box 188890 • Sacramento, CA 95818 (916) 429-2457 - phone (916) 429-2456 - fax www.uan.org |

I just noticed that girl who is wearing sandals she obviously has never been in the bush. I hope her feet will be ok.
