I am sick over this story!
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty is investigating a gruesome case of mass slaughter of 100 sled dogs killed with a shotgun and a knife in Vancouver, British Columbia. The case came to light when a dog-sled tour manager filed a claim with a local worker’s compensation board for post-traumatic stress as a result of killing the dogs.
Reports say Outdoor Adventures and Howling Dog Tours chose to kill the dogs because of a slump in their dog-sled tour business, and after failed attempts to give the dogs away. Some of the dogs were used to pull tourists during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
According to the claim filed with the board, the dogs were killed in front of one another and reportedly attempted to crawl out of the mass grave.
