Im not saying that I agree with this, but when your life is directly tied to your entire life you do what your told or your family goes hungry


The manager who performed the killings stopped working for them shortly after the incident although the reason why is not given. Perhaps one of his superiors found out about this and fired him and tried to keep this quiet?

They couldn't do anything else with them?

I tried dog-sledding once. I'll never do it again, at least never during my first year here in Canada. Damn cold winters.

“What is extremely upsetting is to read what he described - some of them requiring mulitple shots, his having to slit their throats, dogs faces being blown off and they were still running around, dogs that he thought had been dead, that he put in what he described as a mass grave and he looks back and sees her trying to climb out,”


This almost makes me want to vomit.

Animals that are not capable of malevolence, purely innocent creatures, being slaughtered to save money. I'm pretty sure the human race doesn't deserve to exist.

If the owners couldn't find home's for the animals I believe it would have been moral to have the animals put down. However the manner in which this was handled is disgusting, just another fine example of man's willingness to sacrifice moral ground to maximize profits. $100 to be a decent human being or $1 for a bullet. Oh well, its Canada killing dogs like that is a worse offense then selling weed. They will most likely get hit pretty hard in court.

No , human's are not animal's. Animals are driven by instinct not emotions that you or I experience. We have the capability to be driven by instinct but one a whole were are different.

I wouldn't have been able to kill them myself but these were working dogs, not pets. I don't see anything wrong with the decision to cull them if other options were explored but not possible.

this is so sad


We also beat the shit out of seals using clubs..

Man is disgusting, it's the 21st century and this still happens is completely wrong. These dogs we're trained athletes, I'm sure they could be given away or even let loose would be better then is massacre. Hope this company goes under BIG TIME.

That thought is just disgusting. ""JUST WORKERS NO BIG, They have no right to live""
??? What.. Okay, so if I have dogs that I train and use every day, etc it's fine if I massacre them? They are just simply dogs, not pets? idk what you mean by that.

I thought about this a bit further and wondered why there is such an uproar about these dogs when there are animals out there living a horrid life in a dark and gloomy place and then massacred by the quantity to feed.

WOAH THIS IS SO WASTEFUL! Someone could have eaten or used those furs! I wonder if Husky furs are valuable... or if their meat can be used for anything. At the very least use them for scientific research instead of killing useful commodities.

Who cares about the animals though. People suffer far worse fates than this and are actually intelligent enough to be able to live in fear and realization of it. Oh yeh dont forget about abortion where they stick scissors into babies heads and necks. Oh wait I bet no one cares about that but THE POOR DOGGY WOGGIES! sigh... humanity...

Should have paid me to kill those dogs I would have done it without crying about PTSD. Or maybe I should cry and get a bunch of money like the liberals (but use it to fund America/Republicans/NRA).

Slitting their throats seems too risky and difficult and time consuming. I dont know how thick those dog sleds fur are but I imagine they are quite thick to protect from the cold. I could see decapitating them with a chainsaw though. Personally I'd use a rifle b/c I dont want a bunch of dog blood on me and it would be fun to practice aiming. Bullets are pretty cheap but that cattle gun they use to execute cattle might be cheaper. Pretty sure the bullets are cheaper though.

Really? You think it's okay to kill 100 dogs because they are "working" dogs and not pets?

And what the hell are you talking about "if other options were explored but not possible" lol there are ALWAYS other options than just straight killing.

If anyone thinks this is uncommon practice for places such as dog breeders etc. Visit www.earthlings.com and watch Part 1 - Pets.
While you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition.

Another company that does dogsledding in Whistler claims that it is always able to find homes for its dogs after retirement. I think this was a straight cost-saving measure, however they're going to lose way more than they saved now that this has come out publicly. Serves them right.

This is fucking sick. Hope this guy is put to death by being shot multiple times, having his throat slit, and his face blown off.

If they had to put them down, like many said, should have done so in a more humane manner. I'm sure those dogs helped them make enough $ to do so.

@Blitzkrieger - defending this by pointing at other wrongs is stupid, both should be addressed and fixed if there are problems. Its like saying don't worry about providing cold medicine when we have HIV to worry about.

Also, if you were to be shot in the face and continued to run around alive, I'm sure your fear and pain would not differ from that of another animal's realization of it... Your post kind of made me wish you'd go through this "experience" as well, come out alive, and see if your view changes. Or maybe just so that you feel the pain

This story is a bit more dramatic because it is dogs, which we human feel more connected to than any other animal somehow. Still, I don't think this is rational in any way.

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
