From USA Today June 20, 2013.

"LOS ANGELES (AP) — A decade ago, the Rosebud Sioux Indians in South
Dakota were paying people to catch and shoot wild dogs. Dogs that
weren't caught were covered in mange and parasites. Some froze. Some
starved. In packs, they survived by eating each other. And dog bites
were 20 times worse than the national average...."

It is interesting to see how many different populations of animals in
such diverse environments have benefitted from GonaCon already. It is
also wonderful to see corporations like PetCo assist financially in
this endeavor. Being the owner of 7 ferrets I can hardly wait until
my beloved ferrets will receive their first immunization of GonaCon!
