100 sled dogs shot when B.C. tour business slows

Seriously, WTF!!

There are so many people out there that would help in the effort to place these dogs yet they just decide to put them all down. I want to see what the investigation shows.

If someone would have told me "we need a home for these dogs or they are going to be killed" I would have had two dogs laying on the bed with me right now

Who could imagine this kind of crap happening in a 1st world country... :(

If I was the employee, I'd tell my boss to go screw himself!

hmm...



as for the issue the company DID try to find homes for the dogs prior to killing them and if they tried to find homes for the dogs im assuming they must have contacted the SPCA who would eventually kill the dogs themselves

You think they just go "oh I guess nobody wants these" then kill them all?

I hear sled dogs, if they are indeed real sled dogs are a different breed....not particularly well domesticated.

if they failed to find homes for the dogs, couldnt they have held some kinda charity and gather donations to continue housing these dogs?

obviously i dont know the full story, or the extent of their effort (if any) to care for these dogs.

but im definitely willing to donate some money to keep 100 dogs alive ;[

This is true. Still there is a need for trained sled dogs in different places in the world.

This is disgusting. As someone who's been involved in animal rescue on and off for a decade I can say surely that they didn't try very hard to find homes for these dogs as I have seen what dog rescues will do to mobilize if they're told 'these dogs will die if they aren't rehomed' and it's absolutely amazing how fast they can organize a railroad (different rescuers taking a few dogs each for different legs of the trip) to get animals across the country or even internationally to safety or to a rescue or what have you. Additionally I'm fairly certain someone would have given them funding to care for the animals until someone could take them. :(

What I don't get is why they had to shoot the dogs too? Money issue? It would be much more humaine to at least put them to sleep with a vet.

damn, 100 dogs shot.


somebody needs to be shot too

They claim no vet would do it.

Which should have been a red flag that they were doing something wrong.

i have no sympathy for the worker who got ordered to do the killings

and he got compensated by WCB for post tramatic stress too! thats the big WTF for me

This was posted today on another local forum I frequent,a member called this sick fuck and this was what he said.

" I phoned the guy, Kelly who
did the shooting and he just
laughed! He said he got paid
well to do that and now gets
to get compensation from the
government!
He said he was going to get
laid off, because of a work
shortage and they were actually
asking for volunteers! Said it was
as easy as shooting fish in a barrel!
He actually is an idiot! Feel free
to call him.Not sure of his address
but he is on the north side of ..........
around ........a yellow rancher
house with a veranda...
His number is: 604............... Kelly "

This is an utterly disgusting act. Like yeah I get the point that your not making money anymore but couldn't you have just sent these dogs somewhere else where they would be a use for someone say like up in Alaska or something? Like fuck, I have no sympathy for him at ALL. I hope he goes to jail n dies from the ass raping he gets. :@

This sick fuck also had to slit their throats in some cases and or chase them down after only wounding them.

This kelly guy is in for a shitstorm once more people find out where he lives and what he looks like.

They have really good coverage of this on the CBC right now, including an SPCA spokesperson.

I think posting this Kelly guy's information was completely the wrong thing to do.

No matter what his attitude was to killing the dogs and being "compensated for PTSD", he didn't deserve to have his personal information put out there. He may be a flippant douche according to that forum post, but hes still a person.

There are some truly unbalanced people out there and sometimes all they need is (what they believe is) an excuse to go over the edge and hurt someone. This is a human being who may be in serious danger.

Tachy,the personnal info has now been removed from the site where it was originally posted,if you want me to also remove my post with the quotes,just let me know.

I have no sympathy for the shooter, his information should be spread across the internet to make him suffer in retribution for the suffering he caused innocent animals. The person had the option to refuse his boss's instructions, but he chose to carry them out and now he WILL suffer the consequences one way or another.

The execution of the animals occurred only seven weeks post winter Olympics and only five weeks post special Olympics, which leads me to believe they made no effort to adopt out the animals since the final tourists were only just departing at that point.

Can someone explain the difference between a cow and a dog?

There's lots of dogs at your local shelter in you want one now.

a cow is delicious between two buns and a slice of cheese. Not sure about dog.

a dog can potentially serve humans, such as "seeing eye dogs" for blind people, police dogs trained to sniff out drugs and track down criminals and find missing people. dogs also make for a very loyal and friendly pet/companion.

cows stand there and eat grass.

please dont interpret what i said as not caring for cows, because i think killing all animals for no reason is bad. but alot of cows are raised with the intention of milking or killing for beef and other things. dogs are not.

I take it that you don't know that in other parts of the world,the cow is considered a sacred animal.

^sorry forgot lol ;[

i am biased because im christian... and... yeah... the whole golden cow thing... sorry xD
