Poster: A snowHead
|
Royal Canadian Mounted Police and animal welfare authorities in British Columbia have announced they are investigating the shooting of as many as 100 huskies in the weeks after the Olympics ended. During the Winter Olympics last year, tourists could book dog sled rides pulled by teams of “energetic and lovable Alaskan racing huskies.” It appears that many of these dogs were then killed when business dropped after the games finished. This has come to light after a Vancouver radio station, CKNW, obtained a copy of a confidential decision by a workplace compensation board granting compensation for post-traumatic stress disorder to an employee who killed the dogs....Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/02/world/americas/02dogs.html?_r=1

This is the saddest thing I've read this year, the people who did this should be ashamed. Frankly, I couldn't give a flying f**k that the guy who shot the poor animals ended up with PTSD, I hope he has nightmares for the rest of his life.

Hello, I'm new here and just read this article and post. We lost our amazing 13.5 year old sweet dog this last December (she too loved the snow) and it pains me to read this type of thing. I agree with TheDelaney--what a horrible situation and I have no sympathy for anyone who would do something like that to a dog (and apparently do it incompetently).
On a happier note, this site has tons of great info and I am glad to have found it. All the best to all the snowhounds (human and canine) out there!

Hi there. . If I could make a wish come true it would be the worst thing possible to happen to all those involved. . Human beings will abuse because they can. . And get away with it. . Damn them to hell. .
