  • British Columbia Slauder

    From PETER COGGON@1:123/140 to ALL on Wed Feb 2 01:35:00 2011
    Hello all;

    Been reading this area for sometime, and even replied to a few
    but today, I saw something pretty sick and it innvolves the
    Winter Olympics that ended in Canada's British Columbia.

    They had offer to visitors Dog Sled rides, and well we have them
    here in Ontario ....but after the winter games, and the World
    went home, and the media left... 300 Dogs were painfully killed.

    I am not going into the details, but CANADA should be ashamed.

    Peter

    The cull was disgraceful. I think the business should be shut down and its owners should be banned from owning dogs for life, people would of rushed to adopt these dogs
    if there was an outcry for them, and if worse came to worse they would of been put down humanely instead of being
    sent to being slaughtered.

    NOTE: Sorry about this ...It was rushed and was on the radio as
    I was reading this area..... there were 300 dogs but
    100 needed to be located to homes etc...and well the business was
    owned by another and part of...well bottomline is 100 dogs
    that could have had homes and seen many people looking for
    these types of dogs.... they were slaughter in a messy way
    so no discriptions as too painful. Buried in a remote area
    which they hope to get to sometime and clean up.

    This thanks to the VANCOVER Winter Games 2010 ... same games
    where that luge racer was killed on a track that was wrong.

    OK...Matt...sorry to you and all for the 300..when only 100
    but 1 too many.

    The cull was disgraceful. I think the business should be shut down and
    its owners should be banned from owning dogs for life, people would of rushed to adopt these dogs
    if there was an outcry for them, and if worse came to worse they would
    of been put down humanely instead of being
    sent to being slaughtered.

    I agree. There is an investigation going on in British Columbia
    by the Province, and charges pending.

    What is so obvious is there was homes open to these animals.

    Just another example of profit and of course that if this happens
    to an animal ..then I pray he or they are not my neighbours
    as they are capable of doing this to anyone.

    It ruined the games for me... No good memorys now...I don't
    even want to ..and will not watch a special on TV about them
    after this.

    Organizers should be ashamed of their 2010 Winter Games
