Thumbs down Mass dog slaughter in BC -- 100 dogs shot/throats slashed in bloodbath

Good lord.

Quote:
An animal welfare group is investigating the execution of 100 healthy sled dogs in Vancouver, British Columbia, after tour business got slow following the Olympics, according to Canadian news reports.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is investigating the animal cruelty allegations after a Howling Dog Tours general manager filed a claim with the provincial workers' compensation board saying he suffered post-traumatic stress after slaughtering the dogs in a two-day cull.

The claim says the dogs were killed in front of each other, causing them to panic and attack the worker, The Vancouver Sun reported.

“By the end, he was covered in blood,” the review board wrote January 25, confirming the worker’s claim. “When he finished, he cleared up the mess, filled in the mass grave and tried to bury the memories as deeply as he could.”

[ . . . ]

Marcy Moriarty of the British Columbia SPCA told the station she was most disturbed by the “description where he notes that one of the dogs he thought had been killed was crawling around in this mass grave. ... Honestly, I had to put down the story then.”

The employee, who was compensated for his claim and no longer manages Howling Dog, sought treatment for depression, panic attacks and nightmares five days after the killings, The Sun reported.

No s*** the employee is suffering from panic attacks and nightmares. Why would he go through with that in the first place? Just say no, cripes.

Pinner had a really crappy thread title though. I hope he changes it.

I just saw the Pinner thread. Mods can lock this. I hate when thread titles don't indicate what the actual content of the thread is.
