Description

Roughly three out of four Indigenous people killed by police were on or within 10 miles of reservations. That’s according to a new study from the University of Washington. Researchers note that only about 40% of Indigenous people live within or near reservations and hypothesize that frequent travel in and out of tribal lands and racial profiling could be a reason for these fatal interactions with police. Theresa Rocha Beardall is an associate professor of sociology at UW and co-authored the study. She joins to share more.

PET LICENSING Pet ownership comes with many responsibilities to keep you, your pet, and your community safe. Lincoln County requires all dogs hold a valid license pursuant to ORS 609.100. Cat licenses are optional but are encouraged because they can help reunite you with your cat if they are lost. In addition to being required by law, licensing your dog can save their life and speed up the process of returning them to you. One of Lincoln County Animal Shelter’s goals is to be able to reunite all lost pets with their families. In 2024, our animal shelter helped 171 lost pets reunite with their families. Having a licensed pet can help speed up the process of being reunited when your pet is lost. If happy reunions are not enough motivation, failure to obtain a dog license can result in a $265 fine. All dogs in the county are required to be licensed within thirty days of residence. This is a requirement regardless of where you live in Lincoln County and whether your dog leaves your property or not. While cat licenses are not required, they help can reunite families with their feline friends. You may easily purchase or renew a license by mail, over the phone, at the Animal Shelter, or online. Applications and additional information are available online at: www.co.lincoln.or.us/695/Pet-Licensing. Why licensing is important: • License tags allow us to contact you as soon as possible. This provides peace of mind, leaves space at the shelter for other animals in need, and saves tax-payer money. • License fees support shelter programs and operations which provide over 1,000 animals with food, veterinary care, shelter, training, behavior enrichment, and adoption services each year. • License fees support field services and investigations which address loose pets, aggressive dogs, and bite reports. • License fees allow Animal Services to investigate, seize, and care for animals who are victims of cruelty and neglect. • License fees support our pet retention programs which help people keep their pets. • If your animal is found injured and wearing its license, it is much easier for us to obtain emergency medical attention for them and to contact you with the details. • Identification is critically important for your pet in the event of a disaster. • If your dog is impounded, current on their license, and spayed or neutered, the first $30 impound fee is waived. • License fees are an important way the community supports our policy of not euthanizing for time or space. These fees also support finding new homes for as many animals as possible. Please keep your pets safe with a license, ID tag, and microchip. Remember to search for your lost pet at the Lincoln County Animal Shelter at 510 NE Harney St. in Newport and by calling 541-265-0720. You can help reunite lost pets by following the Animal Shelter’s Facebook page at LincolnCountyLostandFoundPets.
