Rex is mending well today after his tooth extraction.
The Two Rivers Tribune came out today with an in depth article about Rex. I encourage people to read it to get a bigger picture.
I did find it disheartening that the Tribal Police confessed to shooting at least one dog a month. That just shows how severe the issue is. The police state they don't have enough resources. Perhaps the Hoopa Tribe needs to consider setting aside some of their $49 million settlement to provide for the animals the Creator has entrusted them with. Just a thought.
Also, if you are in the place to adopt a dog or a cat, you might want to consider rescuing a Hoopa animal like Rex. You can contact the Greater Rural Rescue in Hoopa at 530-625-1078. They have lots of animals in need of a loving home. They also aren't financially supported by the Hoopa Tribe. They are just a bunch of animal caring people trying to fix a desperate situation and using their own personal resources. They are the Hoopa Valley's equivalent to Miranda's Rescue in Fortuna (only smaller).
Thank you Allie for a wonderful article. I thank all of your for your support for Rex and other animals like him.

Well, I guess this brings new understanding as to why the settlers called them "SAVAGES." I have several dear friends who are Native American, so while I do understand this does not apply to all Native Americans, it certainly fits the bill in the case of the Hoopa Tribal Police.
