STRAY DOG SHELTER PROJECT CAUSES LAND DISPUTE|愛狗樂園覓他處 原址圈鐵網無法耕作

The Hualien County Government originally planned to build a shelter for stray dogs, but the area did not pass the environmental impact assessment. The project has already been halted, but at the original location there are disputes over land ownership. The County Government fenced the land with a chain link fence so that an indigenous man was unable to cultivate his land. This angered indigenous groups. ==Member of Public== Return my land, return my land. Pulling at the chain link fence, this 74 year-old indigenous man is very upset. Although that the shelter for stray dogs will not be built, he still cannot access his land. ==CHEN CHIA-LANG, landowner== President Tsai and the central government, you must return the land to us. This is my land from my ancestors' generations to now, and we have owned it for over a century. Another farmer and the indigenous man have disputes over the land ownership. The farmer is not pleased with President Tsai's policy on indigenous land justice. He argues that land disputes will increase in the future. ==CHEN TAI-CHOU, watermelon farmer== When you mention indigenous land or whatever, that's way too far. We all know it very well, when you mention that, disputes would occur. Indigenous groups do not agree with what they see as Han peoples' perspective. ==LISHIN HALUWEI, Ami Distribution Land Movement Alliance== This is outrageous, he totally ignores the transitional justice promoted by the country and government. And he also ignores the history of the Ami ethnic group who live here. Hualien County Government states, although the environmental impact assessment for the stray dog shelter failed, the county government still has jurisdiction over this particular piece of land. If the township office affirms the land is within traditional indigenous territory, then the county government will remove the fencing.
