I used to fly into Tuba City all the time as an air ambulance pilot. There was always stray dogs roaming the res. There was also plenty of litter and "stray children" to be seen.

I used to fly into Chinle's dirt runway often. For people who have been to canyon de chelly, you may have seen the dirt strip next to the cheveron. We used to see children playing along the freeway, midday with no adult supervision whatsoever.

I have spent alot of time on the res'es. There is a feeling of hopelessness and despair that seems to permeate everyday living there.

Grain fed? Hello? This refutes at least 60 million years of evolution. Dogs 'n cats are carnivores... it's what they do. 'Ever see a Wolf eat a corn cob or a Lion eat a bananna? Ridiculous. Please don't assign your loopy ideas to the animal world. You... are an omnivore... You have the forward, steroscopic vision of a predator and the canines/incisors of a carnivore. The molars of a herbivore. If God hadn' intended for animals to be eaten... he wouldn't have made 'em outta MEAT! That includes humans. (Ask any crocodile)

Default Adopt a dog from a reservation!

I was in Tuba City 3 summers ago and found a puppy wandering around outside of the Quality Inn I was staying at. He was starving, covered in ticks, and had a green balloon tied around his leg. I took him to the shelter and they were going to put him to sleep that day they said. The hotel workers said it happens all the time...there are tons of strays. "TC" which is his name now is 3 years old now and living with me in New Jersey...I hope if people are going to get a dog, they will consider adopting one...especially from one of the reservations where it will really make a difference.

Those are probably "Rez" dogs...reservation dogs. Many Native Americans do not consider their dogs as "pets"...they pretty much allow them to breed and wander and fend for themselves. Don't get me started. It's not wise to buy a horse off a Rez either...they are very often wormy, diseased, ill-cared-for.

it is unfortunate that we Arizonans have to continue to clean up the mess that the res'es present us with. i have rescued 2 dogs from res'es.

and to be truthful I am a bit tired of having to clean the mess up after the natives. i am respectful of their sovereign status, but there is only so much babysitting we can afford.

The closer they came the more I realized how emancipated they were. They were in awful conditions I thought about the abuse and neglect that they must suffer on a daily basis. I couldn’t believe how there were so many local people all around who didn’t care that this was going on. I fed them and will try to drive back to rescue them.
I hope that people find it in their hearts to help the animals in Tuba. Spaying their pets would help!
They were emancipated? . Obviously you've never been to Mexico. You'll see this every where you go.

It's sad that the animals are the one's suffering. I understand that different cultures treat things differently but someone needs to step in and protect the innocent animals. If their children were being neglected don't tell me the authorities would just stand back. Poverty is no reason to be cruel.

Sorry for beating a dead dog , but it sounds like the cost of emancipation was emaciation.
