Sickening
 

Good thing I'm in the hospital, this made me sick to the stomach as I love dogs.

I know eh, I just watched that on the news as well... Totally ****ed me off when I watched the story about the animals.

No words... only anger...

As one who has several Huskies I would personally like to do the same thing to the people that did this. This has me so ****ed off right now I can hardly think straight & it made my wife almost come to tears.

As far as I am concerned murder is murder be it man or animal and I do think they need to bring back the death penalty.

Gahh and look how it's turned around, the poor guy HAD to shoot all 100 dogs and now hes claiming workers compensation for PTSD? Reading stuff like this just drives me up the wall, that man deserves to be shot 100 times and then left in the snow to die.

I seriously can't even read this BS, how can anyone truthfully say they were "forced to kill" when the only disincentive is a lack of cash in there pocket. Human kind has a major superiority complex, I agree with killing for food but to remove 100 lives from existence because they were slowing profits is absurd.

Perhaps Socrates was onto something when he inferred Democracy and it's pursuit of cashola was next in line to Tyranny.

you have to lay most of the blame with the industry though. I'm sure with some hard work you could rehabilate a couple of them to become family dogs but for the most part these dogs are raised like wild animals and treated as such. People have to stop supporting STUPID tourist attractions like dog sledding to ensure animals are never raised in these types of setups. Think of Greyhounds and racing - once they are past their prime its the needle or a home if they can find one - which is tough cause the dogs usually have some medical issues after being raced so hard for so long and most pet insurance programs wont insure these breeds against breed specific ailments.

I agree with everyone here but we have to put our foot down. Animals should be raised as pets and never as workers for once their is no work there is no unemployment line for them. They are considered physical assets. Do your part and never participate in anything like dog races, dog sledding, etc. Once demand dwindles - things like this will cease to occur.

I am truly saddened by the events that transpired in Whistler and hopefully with all the media attention some justice is served.

What about all the animals that are put down by the people making the big stink? Humane societies, and PETA put unwanted dogs and cats down all the time! In fact PETA members have been charged and convicted in the States for doing it.

Not saying it is right, just adding something to think about.

Now where did I put my Nomex coveralls?

I don't know what to think, alot of good points have been maybe. I obviously don't agree how the dogs were dealt with and the donkey who started the business was very short sited about where things could eventually end up. We are at the the top of the food chain and take way too many liberties with everything below us....Hybrid canola, Steriod injected beef, labradoodles, Blood Parrot fish, Glow tetras.. injected with die.. Ligers!! WTF is up with those!!....Do we really need more hybridization of animals and our food??? What really ****es me off are farmers... well they aren't real farmers. that let cattle starve in the winter due lack of money/brains to feed them.. swallow the pride, send them to auction, give them away...do something don't just sit in the house wooing poor me poor me...holy crap I'm a bit cranked up...

last year the calgary SPCA did not put down one dog. At least those societies (spca, can't vouch for PETA) at least try to re-home the animals instead of an earlier death sentence.

Now where did I put my Nomex coveralls?[/quote]

what's the coverall "crack" about there backwoods?

I do believe that the company stated they tried to find homes for the dogs also.

My post was not going to be popular, Nomex is a fire retardant cloth that PPE is made of. So I put on my flame suit, clear enough city?

Karma will be served......................

Are you the same awesome hillbilly that paddles white-water around here?

There are numerous places that will take dogs in as rescues, hundreds of breeder as well as dog sled racers/breeders that would have more then likely taken a few dogs or more. I really find it hard to believe that they exhausted all there options to re- home 100 dogs.

PETA IS NOTHING BUT A JOKE as far as I am concerned

The only reason that the SPCA has to put down any animals is because of irresponsible pet owner. If you don't want you pet to breed HAVE THEM FIXED. Take proper steps to prevent this.

I have a 3 yr old female Malamute Husky, 2 yr old Siberian Husky, a male & female from our first litter. The female pup has been fixed, I have a large dog run with 3 large separation kennels. When I say large I mean large 40'x60' & 20'x40 (3), all our dogs get run 3-4 times a day around our property.

I would have easily taken a couple of these dog in a heartbeat.

Not to mention the BS that the killer of these dogs had no choice BULL S£¥€. Did someone have a gun to his head! Was he to stupid to pick up a phone and report the owner WTF!!!! PTSD MY A$$.

Man this is so hard to censor myself when I am this ****ed.

I am very happy to know that in this country we still have some people like you who have a heart for those poor animals.
It stressed me out too much after reading this news.

If my wife had here way and I had the money to do it I would build a half acre building for a rescue kennel.

If have read this article to many time now and I am getting more and more ****ed. This jerkoffs lawyer is obviously one of those dirt bags that does anything for the ole mighty $$$ and if WCB actually pays this guy one red cent I am sure there is going to be some major public up roar and they will be getting a major e-mail barrage from me and it will not be censored.

I also agree I would try to have saved a couple if given the chance. I breed Chow Chows and have rescued a few from poor situations. When I sell a pup, part of my contract states if the new owners cannot support/provide or keep the dog I get first right for getting the dog back. This makes sure the dog is re-homed properly.

This is what we do as well, took the male from our fist litter back after the jerk off started beating the dog and his now ex- girlfriend. We decided to keep him because he will now not leave my side except to eat or go out and play with the others. That is how we got to four big babies :lol: wife spoiles them worst then the kids.

I didnt see it any where that for sure. All I read is a true statement about human societies and such putting down animals after TOTALY exhausting there resources to find the animals new homes. And they can only keep them for so long. Like I stated a lot of the problem comes from pet owners dumping off unwanted/unexpected litters at there door and unwanted animals that they have no desire to care for anymore.

I can't remember how Bob Barker puts it exactly but I put it this way. FIX YOU DAMN PETS AND CARE FOR THEM LIKE THEY ARE YOUR CHILDEREN OR DON'T GET THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I agree with you completely Grizz.

My comprehension comment was directed at spawn if anyone is skimming this thread. First time I've ever used the ignore button on any site.

That interaction has been removed. Everyone please keep the thread civil. Thanks.

Wow. Last night I haven't cried so hard for a long, long time. Then I threw up my supper.
WE humands are nasty, nasty people. Glad to see that I wasn't the only one to get so upset and mad about his whole thing.

While i see where your coming from, most of those animals that are put down by those societies, are done by the needle, or im hoping in some sort of a humane way, they arent doing what this guy did, by taking them out to the back of the woods with a gun. ( although i dont know about PETA, heard some bad stories )

I mean this guy was chasing a couple of dogs around cause one shot to the face didnt finish them? like how can you claim PTSD? you knew what you were doing! Absolutely disgusting!

The disgusting fact is that he has been compensated by the WCB which means they ruled in his favor... Human kind really needs to be held accountable for our actions, simply put we are a burden on this planet.

Truth!

Sad part is the pack of dogs had to sit there, watch, and wait there turn....... :cry:

I definitely could have made room in my home for one or two of those dogs, rather then have that happen to them!

Sometime i wonder what this world is coming too :sad:

A firearm can be just as humane as any other method. It doesn't sound like it was in this case though.

The PTSD thing is disgusting, and whoever approved that at the WCB should have their employment terminated.

oh no i know that! its a method that alot of cow/meat farmers use, my comment was in regards to the fact that for most of these dogs, it wasnt a one shot kind of thing, unfortunately many had to deal with alot more!

WCB needs to really do some investigation into this one! thats all im gonna say

I remember reading last night that he had to slit a dogs throat as it attacked him (Well... whos blames the dog eh?), it appears the article has been amended anyone else see this?

Perhaps were getting some smudged facts to cause a bit of an outrage, anyone have any other articles about this?

I just re-read the article before I read this, and no I don't think it was there early yesterday... the whole article seems alot more detailed than yesterday.... I hate the media, then can spin things to whatever political/personal/ company views they subscribe to, be it good or bad..

The media does suck...

however in the case of this story, making this sound worse might cause more outrage on behalf of the public and push some more affirmative/morally correct action?

Anyone who engages in this type of animal treatment is lucky i have never caught them doing it. :vamp:
