100 dogs in Canada killed after business slows

The Associated Press

Monday, January 31, 2011; 8:08 PM

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- An organization that fights animal abuse is calling the slaughter of 100 sled dogs by an outdoor adventure company in British Columbia a bloodbath and police are investigating.

The British Columbia SPCA's manager of animal cruelty investigations said Monday an Outdoor Adventures Whistler employee was told to cull the dogs.

Marcie Moriarty says some dogs were shot, while others' throats were slit before their bodies were pitched into a mass grave.

Vancouver radio station CKNW radio is reporting that the company expected more sledding business in an anticipated post-Olympics tourism boom. But the boom never materialized and the sled dogs were killed last April.

Outdoor Adventures Whistler couldn't be reached for comment.

Corporations kill.....

Slaughtering dogs 'destroyed my soul,' man says

In a Jan. 6 post on a forum about post-traumatic stress disorder, a man posting as "Bob Fawcett" says that the dogsled company he owned for 15 years was purchased by a large corporation two years ago. The new owners, according to the post, said they were in danger of going out of business.

"I was told the company was going to fold unless we took drastic action. The drastic action would be the immediate disposal of half the herd. There is no more money and the owners would only continue on if we did the reduction and went with a new business model, less dogs, less costs," the commenter alleges, adding that the company had about 330 dogs at the time.

In one forum thread, the commenter goes on to describe in grisly detail what happened on the day of the slaughter.

"I then set about the direct execution of 60 of my friends on day 1. Some I missed, had to chase around with blood everywhere, some I had to slit their throats because it was the only way to keep them calm in my arms.

"I had one still alive in a pit I dug for a mass burial. I carried them all one by one so as to at least give them some kind of respect. Day 2 was no different."

The commenter calls the dogs his "friends," and says "they were my life."

The description of the slaughter closely matches that of the WorkSafe BC decision, in which the worker says he had to chase after dogs missing parts of their heads after they were shot in the face.

So is this Bush's fault?

Sarah Palin's fault?

Please tell me how the Democrats have courageously fought to correct this travesty?

It is the fault of the profit motive of capitalism.
