In this article, "Slaughtered sled dogs' mass gravesite kept secret" in The Globe and Mail, published on February 1st 2010, Sunny Dhillon explains the investigations done after the discover of dozens of sled dogs slaughtered after a post-Olympic drop. This article talks about a dozen of sled dogs found dead under a layer of ice in Whistler.
Because the income of tourism dropped considerably when Olympic finished, dozens of dogs were slaughtered for entertainment to compensate Outdoor Adventures Whistler losses. SPCA officials tried to investigate the gravesite, estimating the number of dead dogs up to 100. Still, the grave location remained to be secret not to make the public react too much.it was actually the employees who were the criminals but they were to do so against their will. To my mind, killing a dog, for entertainment is a crime. Even if it is an animal, animals have a soul as well, and shouldn't be considered like machines. It is outrageous to see how people can be mean. We get used to say that dogs are the best friends of humans but this study shows how humans betrayed and ill-treat others species.
