You mean Canadian killed sled dogs when they have no use for them.

I don't like the act, but the practice of culling animals is quite common all over the world.

Chickens are cull by the millions now and again when there is a disease epidemic, as well as bovine, rabbits, and rats.

It may prove that the killing weren't humane, but IMHO it is no different than the fox that were killed by one of the member here because that fox may have taken a chicken or two from a neighbor farmer.

Also, I see the act as a lesser crime than trophy hunters that kill wild animals in the guise of sport.

Jackasses didn't even consider surrendering them to the SPCA.

The SPCA generally puts animals down. Lots of them.

That's actually a good thing because the alternative is to set them loose in the streets. A hungry dog is a desperate dog, and desperate animals are dangerous.

Strangely we don't take the same approach with humans. For years I've said Detroit should be put down as a whole city and people are like "das racis" or "that's murder!"
I call it culling the heard, jerks.

/facepalm

The SPCA nor any rescue would just let animals into the streets. Besides the SPCS there are numerous rescue groups and Husky/Malamute specific rescue groups that would have taken the dogs. The growth of Greyhound rescue operations working with the Greyhound industry in the US is a perfect example of how the dog sled industry in Canada could conduct their business.

Hopefully, this exposes their dark secret and causes change.

SPCA doesn't let them into the streets because they are too busy killing them. PETA does the same thing. They "rescue" animals, then they execute said animals after finding out nobody wants to adopt them.

The SPCA is not PETA. Not all animals are adoptable nor is their enough space to save every animal do to the overwhelming overpopulation but at least if they're going to be euthanized it wouldn't be performed so barbarically.

Seriously, don't post if you don't know what you're talking about.

Thanks to the OP.

Anyways, I'm in the city where this happened and there is significant outrage, and someone is going to get into a lot of shit for this.

So you're ok with killing lots of animals as long as it's done with a needle instead of a good ol fashioned bullet to the brain. Glad we cleared that up :thumbsup:

You didn't even read the article did you? Not only ignorant but lazy. Or just trolling which you do 90% of the time.

Did you read the article? The first paragraph explicitly states what I just said.

"Following the 2010 Olympic Games, there was a slump in business at Outdoor Adventures Whistler. CBC News reports that an employee was ordered to kill 100 dogs from a pack of 300. The dogs were repeatedly shot and had their throats slashed before being dumped into a mass grave. "

You said your objection was that euthanizing (killing) so many unwanted dogs should be done in a less barbaric way. So basically you want them jabbed with needles rather than shot.

Two lazy to read the next paragraph?

The employee describes one dog whose "eye was hanging off, and it was still running around." Another dog was dumped into the grave while still alive, and the Outdoor Adventures Whistler employee watched as the dog tried to climb out.

If they were shot, why would you need to slash their throats? Are you trolling or this ignorant? I think those dogs would have preferred the needle than torture. Seriously, ask your mommy to read the article and explain it to you.

Which is how it should have been done if it was necessary to put them down. However I get the feeling other avenues weren't fully explored and it was simply Canada's version of Rednecks with guns, some Labatt's and saying "Watch this eh" before each poorly aimed shot.

Better to go down fighting than to go down like a pussy. From the accounts, it looked like the dogs put up a good fight. Too bad for them that humans are superior :'(.

Slashing their throats drains the blood and makes them taste better. Everyone knows this.
Actually that's how cows are killed for beef. They are stabbed in the head with an iron rod which is basically like being shot in the face, then their necks are cut and they are hung upside down to drain the blood. it's also for religious reasons because the bible explicitly says you cannot drink blood.

I don't have a mother to read for me because she was killed by wild dogs.

At least, you could try and not troll in every thread. Or you're just a moron.

nvm

 

[RabidMongoose]

I wonder if their Queen ordered it...

Sled dogs are borderline wild animals. If you let them go you would simply have packs of dogs roaming and hunting. These are not domesticated animals.

 

[Painman]

A shotgun blast to the temple is probably way better for the performer than the audience... this is why I think lethal injection is a farce. We strive to make executions "humane" for the audience; not the participants.

Complete and sudden obliteration of the brainpan is the de facto quickest method of killing someone/something while not allowing it to feel pain. But it's messy. Brains splatter everywhere. But when they're spread upon the opposing wall in 1000 disparate bits, it's kinda hard for them to process the reality of their having been splattered, yes?

 

[biostud]

Go all you veggies, who doesn't eat meat because you need to kill the animals to eat them.

...but it's sled dogs, not cows chickens or pigs...., still just animals, and if they're just killed with a minimum of suffering there's no difference.

Yet 1000s of racing greyhounds become great pets every year in the US. Yes, many need to learn how to walk up stairs, play with toys and learn how to be a pet but they become great pets.

 

[skyking]

those dogs were bred and raised to pull sleds in a commercial venture and then killed when no longer needed. Either:
1) breed and keep as many dogs as you would normally use. Not so much profit nor needless killing.
2) find new homes for them.
3) use some of that profit to do a proper job of euthanizing them.
