SPCA investigating report that 100 sled dogs were killed in Whistler
The B.C. SPCA is investigating a report that about 100 healthy sled dogs were killed in Whistler last year following a post-Olympic downturn in business.
Lorie Chortyk, a spokesperson for the B.C. SPCA, said an investigation was launched after the society learned of the claims through a WorkSafe B.C. report on January 28.
According to the report, which was obtained by CKNW radio, an employee with Outdoor Adventures Whistler has been granted compensation for developing post-traumatic stress disorder after he was allegedly required to kill the dogs last April.
Chortyk described the details of the incident as "horrifying".
"It's just one of the most sickening things I've ever read in my life," she told the Straight by phone. "Because they were shot in front of one another, it was just terror and chaos."
According to Chortyk, some of the sled dogs were shot more than once, or were thrown alive into what the document described as a mass grave.
The dogs were allegedly killed following a drop in dog-sledding tour bookings after the 2010 Olympic Games.
Following the SPCA investigation, a file will be forwarded to Crown counsel to determine whether any charges will be laid under the Criminal Code or under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, said Chortyk.
The Whistler RCMP detachment has offered to assist the SPCA with the investigation.
A statement issued by Outdoor Adventures at Whistler Ltd (OAW) described the incident as "tragic and regrettable".
According to the statement, the cull took place at Howling Dog Tours Whistler Inc, which Outdoor Adventures assumed operational control of in May 2010 after four years of financial stake in the dog-sledding tour company.
"OAW was aware of the relocation and euthanization of dogs at Howling Dogs in April 2010 but it was our expectation that it was done in a proper, legal and humane manner," the statement read. "We only learned otherwise on Friday, January 28 when we read the WCB ruling for the first time."
According to the OAW statement, the company's policy is now to require any dog euthanizations to take place at a veterinarian's office.

Tragic nonetheless....I'm sure those assholes could have placed those dogs...I'da taken one.
As some of you know i got a husky/shepherd at home, i gave her a big hug after i heard this one.
You'd have to read some of the details to see how truly disturbing it is. Plus the guy ended up getting compensation.
