Dog cull being planned on northern reserve where woman fatally mauled
LITTLE GRAND RAPIDS, Man. — As leaders on a northern Manitoba First Nation plan a cull of stray dogs, some rescue groups and veterinarians in the province say there should be more spay and neuter clinics in remote areas.
The issue has taken on new urgency after the mauling death of a 24-year-old woman last weekend in Little Grand Rapids, a fly-in settlement 300 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg.
The body of Donnelly Rose Eaglestick was found surrounded by about 30 dogs.
Several media outlets are reporting that the chief of the reserve is now offering a $25 a head bounty on strays as part of an organized cull.
