This February a previous manager at Outdoor Adventures Whistler applied to WorkSafeBC to be compensated for the post-traumatic stress he suffered from work. I assume that most people agree that their work place is stressful, and high maintenance, and that they too should apply for this compensation. But then again, they weren't made to slaughter a hundred sled dogs on the job.
The company's owner claims that all the dogs were sick and old. The SPCA BC however, is not buying it.
This morning the organization announced that a team of anthropologists, vetrenarians and forensic experts will be digging up -by hand- the bodies of these sled dogs to test tissue samples, shell casings and bone fragments. They are looking to find evidence to support charges for animal cruelty under the Criminal Code.
This is to be the largest and most complicated investigation the SPCA has ever preformed, and definately one of the most expensive with a $225 000 price tag, which will be paid for by the SPCA and the provincial government.
