This weekend, the Eastern Shoshone Tribal Council will discuss a proposed dog ordinance that would try to help control a feral dog problem on the Wind River Indian Reservation.
The ordinance would require rabies vaccinations, permits for dog breeding and other protections to keep people safe.
Darrel Lone Bear is the head of security at Northern Arapaho tribal housing. He said the problem is due to neglect. Some of these animals, dogs, get to the dump and they [the owners] dump them off. So you ll find these dogs that are just trying to survive and their starving.
