100 Sled Dogs Killed

* THIS ARTICLE IS HORRIFYING! I NEEDED TO SHARE IT BECAUSE THIS IS INTOLERABLE!

Slumping tourism is being blamed for the alleged killing of 100 sled dogs in British Columbia.

Details came to light though documents related to a worker’s compensation claim.

The animals were reportedly killed in April 2010 by an employee of a Whistler outfitting company. Outdoor Adventures Whistler.

The unidentified man who filed the claim was compensated for post-traumatic stress disorder that he said was caused by the killings.

The man’s lawyer said the worker felt pressured by his employer to remedy a situation of having too many dogs to care for. Macri Moriarty, of the B.C. SPCA said greed was most likely behind the slaughter.

The company, Outdoor Adventures Whistler, claims there is an explanation but refused to disclose details to CBC News.
