It is so very heartbreaking that stories like Skeeter's are commonplace on reserves.

Here in Victoria, the Society I am with is asked to help regularily by people who find a dog like Skeeter who needs a collar removed from the neck surgically.

Unfortunately only one Society in the Province can actually go on to the Reserves to investigate the shocking cruelty that so far goes on unchecked.

The Prevention of Cruelty Act could be enforced more often (if it is enforced on Reserves at all, no one ever hears) but instead another generation of people will be raised not knowing that the way they are treating their dogs is not only not right BUT is actually cruel AND illegal.
