[ARCVIEW-L] Applying GIS to Dog Census or stray dog problem<BR><BR>Hello
ESRIGISsters,<BR><BR>I live in southern Chile (Punta Arenas) and volunteer
with a local animal shelter (La Protectora Punta Arenas
www.chileaustral.com/perros). Stray dogs (cats too) are a big problem
and affect all aspects of life here but no governmental entity wants to take
charge. Areas such as tourism, health, wildlife, agriculture, etc.
People like me love animals and hate to see neglect (tourist). Then of
course there are the dog bites, poop, spread of garbage, wildlife and
domestic animal loses, looks bad, etc.<BR><BR>We have never been able to
convince environmental, tourist or government entities that they are too
affected, not just us animal lover types. I have brought up the
subject with local as well as international (no names mentioned)
environmental groups working in the area but just get a glazed look
response. I would like to develop a GIS map project to display this
problem. Some money may be available for something like this from the
government. Maps, high tech studies they love. Money for education,
spay/neuter is much too simple!<BR><BR>This is not related to cruelty but
more apathy. Maps always spark interest.<BR><BR>This type of data is
time consuming, but I have all the other available GIS data (county parcel,
streets, census, etc, etc).<BR><BR>Any other experience in this area out
there?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>bruce<BR><BR><BR>.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:..:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:<BR>
