100 alive sled dogs are more valuable than 100 dead ones, they made a rather irrational decision.

Guys.. guess what. We mass slaughter pigs and cows and chickens everyday for food, but no one gives a shit. This is no different.

yes i'm a vegetarian.


These dogs were shot multiple times and then stabbed with knives, dying slowly, And for no reason...

There's some videos on youtube with a bunch of filipinos ( they all live in the forest or something with shacks ) and they're all laughing ( there's some kids and some older people around a fire ) as they kill swine.


How do you know if the company didn't order him to do so... and then claim they didn't...
and the post traumatic stress disorder that he suffered...

I can understand if the sledding business was a little slow but that doesn't justify killing the animals. Sure you lose some money to feed them and keep them sheltered but still... They earn you money at some point, and even if they didn't why not just give them away? Would be just the same as killing them, they were obviously willing to get rid of the dogs without compensation. Horrible horrible waste, and if they were huskies I'm gonna be so much more pissed. Those are the coolest dogs ever.

Tell me that's not cool!

So much outrage. Yes the way they did it is pretty disgusting, but as many have said i see no difference in killing 100 sled dogs, or 100 cows/pigs. And i'm sure slaughterhouse aren't a much better way of killing them. Legally i don't really see the problem.

I like eating steaks so animal will have to die, there really is no way around it.

Yeah but just killing them is a bit of a waste of good capital. They are worth more alive.

Nobody's going to eat those sled dogs though. And similarly, if I knew my hamburger came from animals which were slaughtered like that, I wouldn't eat it...

Granted I'm eating one now and for all I know it might be full of cow tears....

That's just sick. The things people still do in the 21st century baffles me. Killing is horrible in all forms.

According to the WorkSafe B.C. documents obtained by the station, an employee of Outdoor Adventures Whistler has been compensated for post-traumatic stress disorder after being ordered to shoot the animals.

I think this would be quite a normal response, which should indicate that this is wrong. Best wishes to him.

"somehow"

how about the fact that we co-evolved and co-habitated together for millenia, and dogs have been one of the most important factors in human societies growth and evolution?

Disgusting story, lock the fucker up and throw away the damn key

co-evolved and co-habitated? Well, maybe if you need them in front of a sled, but most of the Earth isn't covered in snow. In other parts of the world tame elephants are an important animal for working in the woods and general transportation - much more so than dogs. Yet, hunters shoot elephants as game in Africa, and we can find them in zoos, but without people really giving a shit.
I disagree that dogs "have been one of the most important factors in human societies growth and evolution". Most people would do just fine without dogs.

Hunting wild elephants and slaughering 100 sled dogs ( a domesticated specie ) are two different things.
Nobody gives a shit ( except WWF and PETA ) if you are shooting jackals, foxes or dholes. It is called hunting and it is probably one of the older human activities.

I wasn't arguing whether hunting is correct or not.

hopefully the dogs fur will be turned into luxurious coats and their meat will find its way into our favorite can of chef boyarde.

good thing u've never been to a slaughterhouse, because if what you say is true you would be a vegetarian. Although i suspect you already know how they are killed and you're just BSing.

They use bolt guns or electricity in slaughterhouses, how is that different then shooting them ? They sometimes have to try multiple times to kill them too. That isn't any better i'm sry.

I have a problem with inhumane slaughter of animals. Guess I just largely ignore it because hamburgers are delicious.

And having been to a local slaughterhouse and having seen them cows getting killed, it looked OK. I'd be fine if it was always like what I've seen. It's unfortunate that it's not the case.

I'm saying there's a certain bias in this because of the common human feelings for dogs. I just believe these feelings to be somewhat baseless, since dogs aren't some kind of super animal and we could have picked other animals for the same tasks.
That bit of the argument doesn't matter much though, since I go on to saying that we shouldn't do this sort of needless slaugtering of animals in general... BUT, what I want from people is to realize that if this was cows, it would only be noteworthy if we didn't eat them afterwards.

You have to be a sick son of a bitch to actually view an animal, let alone a domesticated one, in this way. I'll never understand how people can hurt others and/or animals...
