The killings took place over two days. The dogs were rounded up, shot or stabbed then all shoved into a mass grave. Nearly ten months after the dogs were killed in Whistler, the RCMP are investigating and the Vancouver Humane Society is calling for an immediate ban on all dog-sled tour operations in the province. In documents recovered by the CKNW radio station, the manager of Outdoor Adventure Whistler gave disturbing description of how he brutally massacred over 100 perfectly healthy sled-dogs (Huskies). The massacres occurred after the tourism industry took a downturn following the Olympics last year. Marci Moriarty, General manager for cruelty investigations for the SPCA, read aloud some of the brutal ways the man murdered the dogs. One dog named Nora, attempted to crawl out of the mass grave after being severely injured, but the worker climbed down and stopped her by killing her. Moriarty strongly believes these acts are of criminal matter and the people behind them deserve to be punished. It is legal to euthanize your own animal with a shot to the head if necessary, but these massacres are of a whole different level. The company was aware of the euthanization and relocation of the animals, but were under the impression it was to be done in a proper matter.I am extremely appalled by the actions of these men. Being a dog lover myself, this truly sickens me and if I could I would do something about it. These actions need to be acted on, these workers need to be punished harshly. I firmly believe that I life is a life, and no ones life is more important than another, and for me this includes animals as well. I was truly sickened by reading this article, and I will be following up on this report looking for action to be made against these men.
