I find some of the comments here extremely disgusting.
Humans are animals, just like dogs and others. We should value sentient life. Dogs have deep emotions and are not driven by instincts like insects. I don't have a problem with animals being killed for food ( Although I hope, in the future, that we can do away with Darwinian reasons behind life in general ), But why not do it humanely and show compassion ?

Do unto others as you would have done to you... Slitting the throats of a living animals is plain butchery and people that do so should get a taste of their own medicine if the world was a fair place.
Animals kill each other for food, but give them food and they STOP killing each other.

Why do humans kill for pleasure ? Such a disgusting practice, I'm ashamed to be human sometimes. The comments on these boards ( Even on TL where I had HOPED people would be a bit smarter ) are actually defending the massacre of a hundred working dogs that have served humans ? This is just gross.

Dogs and other smart life forms dream, learn, love and pursue the best life possible for themselves and some of us answer them by unimaginable cruelty. I really hope mankind can move forward and treat animals better. Not too long ago people were kept as slaves, we changed that... Can we now change how we treat animals ?

PS : Don't try to tell me it was hard to give out huskies... Huskies sell for over a thousand euros each where I live...

How can someone murder a hundred dogs is beyond me. It is a strong sign of being a sociopath. No argument about it is his job (no money in the world would make me do something like this), or the dogs were company property are valid, and I hope he gets long prison time as well as the company being shut down or fined to bankruptcy.
I can see God when I look in the mirror!

I cannot believe this. Honestly.
Man is animal as well, however more advanced we are in most ways. We deserve life no more then they do. And how they went about killing these dogs? Pitiful. We are capable of killing painlessly, they just decided to not do that.
Things like this piss me off.

"Unnecessarily" lol
Just because you don't eat meat doesn't mean that it's unnecessary, people are killing animals for their flesh since the beggining, why do you have problems with it?

These dogs are shot for no particular reason and died a slow and painfull dead, unlike cows and chickens.

I would not associate dogs with "deep" emotion, but they do have emotion.
This was most likely not killing dogs for pleasure, but due to poor foresight by the company that ordered this they figured that this was the best way to dispose of the dogs. Because of having to feed and shelter these dogs until they could give them to families was seen as a financial burden they decided that killing them was cheaper. Don't hate me just yet please.

I love dogs. Never met one I didn't like. Even when I was younger and not yet 100% smart around animals one bit me still loved that dog. The company should be fined into bankruptcy. The man who slayed the dogs should be put in jail as well as those who were involved with the decision making. The company for being extremely stupid and only thinking about a few dollars being saved and the man who killed them for not growing a pair. He has bad dreams now? I'm sorry, but I doubt that most here could slay a dog and move on to the next before backing out. Perhaps life for general stupidity I mean if you couldn't see this coming you're probably not smart enough to live in a normal society. Worst case scenario they're winter dogs that can probably fend for themselves (not sure about that), but why not just leave them? Or even call a big animal organization to come get them we all know they would.

All animals should be given the chance. Just because they lack high intelligence doesn't mean at any time you can just kill them because they would be a financial burden. Babies are financial burdens and unintelligent as well, but nobody goes around slaughtering them. Unfortunately these people will spend minimal or no time in jail. Hopefully people can learn from this.

What in the fuck would possess someone to think that slitting the throat of a powerful, 80lbs sled dog is an efficient method of culling the animal?? Good fucking lord.

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.

Wow. Just... wow. I guess they did it because it was the cheapest option for them... So greedy. Hopefully somebody will get convicted for this.
Nothing lasts forever… so live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, and avoid the bullshit. But never, EVER, regret, because at one point, everything you did, was exactly what you wanted.

Animals are not humans. I swear to you about 100 times as many humans got killed in the same timeframe

It is the method more than the result that is appalling. I mean PETA kills puts down far more animals than this every year but it is done in a humane way. Death is a necessary part of all life but pain/torture isn't. If they had taken them to a shelter and had them chemically put down we probably wouldn't have even heard about it.

I just can't understand how can a normal person do stuff like this to another LIVING BEING.Just because another life form is below you on the evoliutonary ladder doesn't mean you have the right to end its life just for your own fucking pleasure in a way which obviously causes pain.

I just hate these motherfuckers who like to pretend that we are some sort of divine super advanced species..Anyone who still tries to pretend that humans aren't animals need to go learn basic biology.We are driven by EXACTLY the same instincts as animals.We still want to fuck, eat and we are violent as hell by nature.
We simply don't see these basic urges in plain sight, because we have society.Though it still doesn't prevent us from killing each other everyday.Society breaks down and we would see rape, murders and worse.

It would be interesting to see how would civilizations which are thousand times more advanced than us deal with humanity.I guess we would expect them to view us as equal, but would that really be the case?

I mean, I'm not vegetarian or anything.I do understand millions of animals die everyday for human needs.I'm not saying that this is wrong just because they were dogs and not cows or pigs.I just expect a human being to have a sense of responsibility for another living being which can feel pain.If you're killing it for a reason do it properly.You have that ability

Humans kill each other over the littlest things and send young men & women to fight off and in most cases, kill civilians, in foreign wars to die for a imaginary concept of "Freedom"

Why should you expect we treat DOGS differently, just because they look and act cute?

We are vicious, to other humans and should act equally toward animals. We don't kill humans nicely, why expect to do it toward other animals?

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.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Cool logic. So since we should act equally toward humans and animals, should we also eat humans? All in the name of equality, after all.

(Or we could tone down the violence across the board. Just sayin')
