Dog Shootings in Canada Questioned By DAVID CRARY .c The Associated Press TORONTO (AP) -- Dog-shooting day comes three or four times a year. When stray dogs become too numerous and pesky in remote Inuit villages of northern Quebec, men fan out with their rifles to solve the problem at close range. For the Inuit people, the longstanding practice makes good sense. The stray dogs become malnourished and on occasion attack humans. But the tradition of dog-shooting day has come under scrutiny in the rest of Canada in recent weeks after two non-Inuit schoolteachers in the village of Kangirsuk made use of the Internet to appeal for help in saving some of the local strays. ''It is extremely difficult to focus on these dog-shooting days, as you can see the men luring the dogs closer towards them by calling out to them,'' wrote Wendy Roberts. ''The dogs come willingly and are shot.'' The World Society for the Protection of Animals responded to the appeal by arranging for six of the threatened dogs to be airlifted from Kangirsuk to Montreal, 1,000 miles to the south. The rescued dogs, all under a year old, are now under quarantine with the Montreal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and will be placed in adoptive homes once they get a clean bill of health. But the flight, even after a discount from regional airline First Air, cost about $1,500, too much for the animal protection groups to consider repeating it on a regular basis. Instead, the groups are trying to raise funds to send veterinarians up to Kangirsuk and other Inuit villages each year to spay and neuter the stray dogs, easing the overpopulation problem without the need for shootings. ''We're very proud that the Inuit are prepared to work with us in considering alternatives to the killings,'' said Pierre Barnoti, director of the Montreal SPCA. Barnoti, like others working to end the dog shootings, is careful to avoid criticizing the Inuit and notes that their attitudes toward animals are understandably different from people in less harsh environments. There are 14 Inuit villages in northern Quebec, and Barnoti estimated that 100 or more dogs are killed annually in each of them on the three or four yearly dog-shooting days. ''But we are not pointing fingers and saying, 'You are killers,''' he said. ''The fact that five Inuit in Kangirsuk have indicated a desire to have pets spayed and neutered is already a great victory.'' Traditionally, dogs were essential to the Inuit way of life as sled-pullers, but that role has been largely supplanted by snowmobiles. ''I think they're sort of bemused by our approach, that we'd go to such an extent to save these dogs,'' said Patrick Tohill, Toronto-based spokesman for the World Society for the Protection of Animals. ''They have a different way of looking at animals -- more of a utilitarian approach.'' Kangirsuk's mayor, George Haukai, gave approval for the airlift rescue, but he also defended the practice of shooting dogs. ''The dog population grows very rapidly,'' he told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. ''We've had a couple of people attacked by dogs -- two children.'' While the Montreal SPCA tries to recruit a veterinarian to fly north this summer, it also is recruiting dog-lovers to adopt the six refugees from Kangirsuk. Barnoti is looking for owners that are already familiar with dogs from the far-north and who have property large enough to let the husky-malamute mixed-breeds roam. ''They're absolutely gorgeous dogs, very playful, very friendly,'' Barnoti said. ''They are far from the monsters they're sometimes portrayed as.'' AP-NY-02-20-99 0220EST
