Epic Cruelty - 100 Sled Dogs Killed in Whistler, BC

[CanadianGirl]

Due to a 'downturn' in business after the 2010 Olympics the owners of Outdoor Adventures in Whistler BC ordered the deaths of 100 sled dogs. Rather than have a vet humanely euthanize them, one employee was sent out to shoot them and slit their throats. More details here:

Boycott this company and it's parent company Intrawest, they own a number of resorts.

Thats so sad
Sled dogs are wonderful animals they are truly amazing and to see them go like that is horrible! Some people just don't have a heart!

I read this in the paper today, the man who killed the dogs has been paid compensation as he is now suffering from stress!

 

[CanadianGirl]

You can just imagine the kind of stress he is under. I was reading the "Statement of Claim" yesterday on the internet and the details are truly horrifying. Basically he killed these dogs one at a time in front of each other! If that doesn't give you nightmares I don't know what would.

You got it in one, Canadian Girl. Boycott the company. And spread the word.

Currently in whistler. Shocked and upset by this news. Went on one of these sledding tours several years agoand was assured thatthey had arrangements for dogs at retirement. Tv cameras outsifde hotel and heavy coverage in local and national media. Just sounecceasyand greedy.

Disgusting. It is so upsetting to read these accounts. I have posted a link on my FB page - it gives a few more details of the nature of the killings. Just thought more people should know of the horror really and then they may think twice before using this company.

It's disgraceful.
