This via Annie Scarborough via facebook. The horrendous details of this sled dog slaughter only came to light when the company employee who did the deed with a gun and a knife (after vets in the area had refused to euthanise 100 healthy dogs for the sake of expediency) applied for mental health counseling for PTSD.

Of course, you've got to wonder why he didn't refuse to do it.

Whistler is a town that lives and dies on its tourist trade. I sure hope this company is hounded out of business. (Pun not quite intentional, because a smile is the last thing this news brings to my face.) They still have 200 sled dogs.

Hopefully this will turn into a criminal prosecution. If it doesn't, it should.
