Culling of dogs called off

Initial plans in early January to cull stray dogs who were forming packs and becoming aggressive on the Lac La Ronge Indian Band were called off. Chief Tammy Cook-Searson issued a statement saying the band would work with the La Ronge-based group Northern Animal Rescue to bring the situation under control. A plan is being worked out where an animal control officer will pick up the dogs and turn them over to the rescue group.
