I'm fairly certain our ancestors would not shoot a bunch of fucking dogs for no reason. It isn't ignorance, it is first hand connection. Almost everyone has had a dog or known a dog that they liked. Not everyone has been to a place and talked with starving african children. It also isn't like you have a damn clue on whether or not the people in this thread showing out rage donate or not to those starving people.
I'm fairly certain we have the same genetic makeup as our ancestors, so yes, apparently they would have.

No, but they ran hundreds of buffalo at a time off a cliff in order to skin and eat a handful of them. And if they failed, they probably ate their dogs instead. Animals have been used by people in various capacities for thousands of years. Just because you feed fifi purina moist chunky mix now doesn't mean dogs have been that way forever.

This is a really disgusting way to treat any living creature and I can't believe some people would try justify it.

if the guy has ownership over the dogs and can do anything he wants, then legally he can't be punished but everyone would agree that there is something inherently wrong with massacring healthy dogs, so it would be very unfortunate if he doesn't get into any trouble.

OK so lets assume, for argument's sake, that humans have been treating animals this way since the beginning of our existence.
Is =/= Ought.
Slavery has pretty much always existed before relatively recently in history. That is not any sort of reasonable justification for why its continued existence is acceptable.
So it really doesn't matter, (with respect to what we *should or shouldn't* do), what we have been doing. (which if I'm not mistaken is the focus of the debate here: was what happened acceptable or not?)

WTF
Why...?
This type of shit makes me sick
|
so I know this is kinda off topic, but this seems a lot more inhumane than the korean piggy incident. you know, just putting it out there lol.

Wtf, I hate killing animals for no reason. They should of served them and ate them then it would be alright.

The problem here in my pov isn't that animals died. Even the SPCA has been caught mass slaughtering animals in Texas and other places.
Animals are a resource. It sounds stupid but it is true and barring technological advances, it will continue to be.
Now the disgusting the lack of humanity behind how this was done is appalling. Living things do not deserve to be treated in this way. I mean dog sledding is already a horrible sport, but the fact that this animals, were feed, trained and then discarded in this way is a huge waste of resources. I mean that is thousands of dollars per dog, not to mention that the dogs that actually make it through training are amazing. They can focus longer then most humans and are great specimens.
All in all, I rather 1,000 dogs get their heads cut of with dull blades then any of you.

They could make a lot of money selling the dogs and advertising that they were in the Olympics. It is a waste of resource. They probably even slaughtered all the ones that did not "make par" as well.

If this was in Florida, they would be sentenced for first degree murder. Florida's laws against killing a dog is considered as to killing a human. Fuck these guys, I get so angry when I read stories like these.
I agree with that

This thread title needs to be changed it's very misleading, it's not about sled dogs who competed in the olympics but sled dogs in a seperate circuit at the same venue as the olympics but happened to happen afterwards.

Are you kidding me? Likening this to animals slaughtered for food? The dogs were brutally killed and thrown in a mass grave, how can you even make that comparison? The intelligence level in this thread is astounding. You're pretty ignorant aren't you? Have you ever visited a slaughterhouse? Or a sow stall? Or a battery farm?
Ignorant of what? I'm not saying slaughterhouses aren't brutal as fuck (which really isn't ok either), I'm saying those animals are killed for us to eat. To me that is completely different than dumping a bunch of dogs in a ditch. I know 100 dogs is a drop in the bucket brutality-wise, but for me killing something for no purpose is a lot different than killing something for food. I figured more people would make that connection, guess not.

if i were ordered to slaughter 100 animals i would quit my job. i hate animal rights activists as much as the next guy, but that's more or less due to the way they act rather than what they stand for.
but the important part is that that guy didn't definitely didn't slaughter the dogs involuntarily. killing a dog isn't rocket science. if this guy had been forced to do this, there wouldn't have been any dogs that were shot twice or had slit throats. there would have been 100 clean shots to the head, absolutely nothing more. and slitting a throat? that's getting really up close and personal. this guy was a sociopath, not a doubt in my mind. probably took the job just so he could slaughter animals.

ROFL at the people who are trying to defend cruelty like this. Sure there are starving people suffering in Africa. But the don't happen to be part of the species that's become vastly overpopulated, is stripping the earth of it's resources and destroying the natural environment, and is constantly finding better ways to cause suffering among themselves.
The fact is that dogs are helpless. It was an act of pure cruelty to kill them that way. Nobody but a psychopath is incapable of empathy.
A starving baby in Rwanda is not a helpless dog being cruelly mistreated. It's a symptom of the much greater problem that is human expansion on the planet earth. While surely it didn't choose the brief life of suffering it was given, it was brought into the world by irresponsible parents in a country that others are too self absorbed to care about. Those dogs are helpless animals were incapable of removing themselves from or even comprehending the situation they were in.

Doesn't the worker have common sense? What would you do if you were ordered to slaughter 100 sled dogs? I wouldn't have done it. No money can buy me like that.
