VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA —

The 100 dogs were shot dead over two days after an expected post-Olympics boon in dogsledding business at an adventure company didn’t pan out. Most died instantly, but others suffered – like the one that ran away with its “face blown off and an eye hanging out.”

The gruesome event was described in documents awarding compensation to a worker, who claimed post-traumatic stress disorder for having to shoot the dogs after bookings dropped sharply for a tour operator following the 2010 Winter Olympics.

“He had to chase her down and finish her off,” Marcie Moriarty, general manager of cruelty investigations for the B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said of the wounded down that was run down and slain.

Moriarty said the slaughter left her sickened and said it is the worst investigation she’s ever done. Both the British Columbia SPCA and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are investigating the slaughter.

Moriarty said all the other dogs would have seen the incident in which the one dog did not die instantly from the single gunshot to the head and ran away from the worker.

“There aren’t words to really describe some of the ways these dogs died,” she said. “We don’t put cows down like that. Slaughterhouses have very strict rules for how supposed culling takes place. This violated every one of them.”

An employee of Outdoor Adventures Whistler was awarded compensation in a ruling by WorkSafe BC, the provincial body that manages workers’ compensation claims. Outdoor Adventures did not contest the man’s compensation claims.

The WorkSafe documents are confidential, but Moriarty has read them as part of the society’s investigation.

Moriarty said it is likely the individual who will be facing charges and not the company.

“Obviously we would like to lay charges as soon as possible,” she said. “We are looking at the particular individual. Whether the company is liable, I don’t know. Morally, yes.”

She said SPCA constables are in Whistler doing investigations. She said they are hoping to file charges without having to dig up the mass grave of dogs. “It’s frozen and under feet of snow,” she said.

Tourism Whistler has suspended reservations for the company while the investigation unfolds, spokeswoman Patricia Westerholm said. She said the mood in Whistler is somber.

Police Staff Sgt. Steve Leclair said Tuesday an investigation is underway into “serious threats” made against someone involved with the killing of the dogs. He could not identify the individual against whom the email threats were made.

The WorkSafe documents were obtained by radio station CKNW. The station reported the man was attacked at least twice by nearby dogs as the shootings occurred. He was forced to slit the throat of one animal who jumped on top of him.

The name of the man who killed the dogs has not been released, but his lawyer, Cory Steinberg, told CKNW that it was “the worst experience (the man) could ever have imagined.”

The documents reveal bookings for dog sled tours collapsed after the Olympics, and when the company could not find homes for its animals, it ordered the cull. The dogs, which were part of a pack of 300, were shot over two days last April.

“He was essentially told to figure out a way to make (the business) more cost-effective. They just had to have less dogs. So he did everything he could finding homes for them, having them adopted, every which way that he could,” Steinberg said Monday.

Graham Aldcroft, a spokesman for the company, said Outdoor Adventures had a financial stake in a company called Howling Dogs in Whistler for four years, but operational control of Howling Dogs was with the worker referred to in the WorkSafe B.C. documents.

“While we were aware of the relocation and euthanization of dogs at Howling Dog Tours, we were completely unaware of the details of the incident until reading the … document Sunday,” Aldcroft said in the statement.

Outdoor Adventures took over control of Howling Dogs in May, Aldcroft said. He said it is now company policy that animals needing to be euthanized are treated at a veterinarian’s office.

Rich Bittner, the operator of Howling Dogs in Canmore, Alberta, said he sold his 50 percent interest in the Whistler operation in 2004 to a man named Bob Fawcett. He said the Whistler tour operator was supposed to change the name because Howling Dogs was no longer involved.

An online site offering support to people suffering post-traumatic stress disorder includes several postings made under the name of Bob Fawcett. It could not be immediately determined if these postings were made by the man who bought the dogsled tour company in 2004.

Dogsled tour operators in the tight-knit mushing community in British Columbia expressed outrage over the killings. Several operators said they routinely adopt dogs from other companies, but were not asked to take any from Whistler in early 2010.

Tim Tedford, who runs dog sled tours in the Big White area, near Kelowna, said, “That behavior doesn’t sound like a real musher.”

“Most mushers love their dogs. That sounds more like an accountant to me. Most mushers would starve themselves before they’d ever neglect their dogs,” he said.

Following revelations of the slaughter, the Vancouver Humane Society on Monday called for a ban on the sled-dog tour business.

Reward Increased In Dead Dog Case
Written by Jacqueline Sprague

“This incident was heinous,” says Shannon Gagliano with Saving The Animals Of Rowan County.
The animal rescue group is upset and angry after it says a dog was left for dead near the Farmers Sharkey exit ramp on I-64 Northbound earlier this week.
“His mouth and muzzle had been taped shut with electrical tape,” says Gagliano.
And she says animal abuse like this is nothing new to this state and something needs to be done, “For the third year in a row, Kentucky is ranked number one for animal cruelty cases and that’s not a title that we want. Our three legislators here locally have stepped in and dug in for the fight and I think everybody in Kentucky needs to ask their representatives and senators what they’re doing to help this.”
Serita was rescued by STAR and the group is trying to prevent more animals like her from being abandoned and left for dead.
“For some people, circumstances change and they can’t care for them. A lot of people don’t know we can take them to the pound. A lot of it is, if we take them to the pound, they’re going to be put down. But, that’s not the case, we will find a home for them,” comments Gagliano.
If you have any information on this most recent incident, call the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. The humane society is offering a $4,000 reward for information leading to whoever is responsible for the dog’s death.

Lexi Needs Your Help Lexi needs your help!My 19 week old puppy named Lexi needs to have open heart surgery done ASAP. She has been diagnosed with a form of Megaesophagus. In her case, a piece of her heart has grown over the top of her esophagus and is pressing it against the heart. As she grows, the worse it will become and could inevitably end in death.

The required surgery will cost roughly $5,200. Being a one income household, I don’t have the funds available and really need some help from people. In the unfortunate event of her passing on before the surgery can be performed, all donations will be returned. January 8 9:40pm

For Immediate Release:
Could a member of God’s flock have shot the shepherd in the head during the season of compassion?
Nonprofit offers $1000 reward to information leading to arrest and prosecution of dog abuser

Tipton, PA — January 7, 2011 — Dogs Deserve Better, a national rescue and advocacy group dedicated to ending the suffering of chained and penned dogs, is offering a $1000 reward to anyone giving information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the abuser who shot a shepherd in the head outside a Catholic church sometime between Christmas and January 3, 2011.

While Christmas should be the season of compassion, it seems the parishioners of Joan of Arc Catholic Church in Frugality, PA missed the memo this year, and sources say not only did the priest ask the congregation to ‘get rid of the dog’ who had started hanging around during the Christmas season, but parishioners were reportedly saying things like “don’t go over to the left of the church, there’s a shepherd lurking over there.”

Seems no one offered the dog help or food, and certainly not a home or a warm bed. Yet he lingered, making a den in the corner of the church building under a bush; tired, thirsty, hungry, and cold. He had nowhere else to go.

Tamira Thayne, who was finally called for help two weeks after the dog’s initial appearance, was appalled at the state of the dog when she and her assistant arrived to help. “His right ear and head where pretty seriously injured, and I could see every rib. Yet he was terrified of us, and we had to spike some food with calming meds to even get him to the vet.”

Surgery confirmed the group’s suspicions that the wound was made by a gunshot that went through the back of the ear and up along the side of the shepherd’s head.

Dogs Deserve Better named the shepherd Ezekiel, for it says in Ezekiel 3:8-9 “Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and they forehead strong against their foreheads. As an adamant harder than flint have I made they forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.”

Thayne believes in divine intervention. “I believe that a higher power was looking after Ezekiel, and I believe the members of that church were given a spiritual test and failed. Instead of taking in a creature in need of loving kindness, they shunned him, ignored him, and someone even tried to kill him.”

Dogs Deserve Better is offering a $1000 reward to anyone giving information leading to an arrest and conviction on animal cruelty charges. Please call the Dogs Deserve Better toll-free line at 877.636.1408 if you have any information about this crime against one of God’s most loving creatures.

12/29/10: The surgery went well and he is waking up from anesthesia. I just called the clinic and they were removing his Iv lines. He seems very comfortable and is well medicated. He will continue fostering with Vanessa, who is very experienced in caring for these special need kids. I bet that he is up on his feet acting like a goofy pup again in no time.

12/25/10 :Nick was brought to one of our foster homes after being found by a Good Sam on Christmas Eve. He was limping, thin and in desperate need of vet care. She took him in for an exam, where it was found he had a dislocated hip and broken femur.They appeared to be old injuries that he had been living with for sometime.The Good Sam left the vet with xrays and pain meds and contacted us for help.

He is currently fostering with Vanessa,a tech at our clinic and Demis former foster mom. She said he is in good spirits, sweet and loves everyone-her dogs,cats and son. His amputation and neuter are scheduled for tomorrow.

We really need help with his bill. We have tried not to ask for financial help after you all had been so generous with our Demi and Kylie kitty earlier in the year.Nicks sponsorship is non-deductable.If you cannot help at this time, could you please pass around our website to friends looking to adopt? We have a few great dogs looking for homes! Any help and Xposting is appreciated! Thanks
