Sled dog cruelty and abuse

[Catherine]

Quote:Downsizing, and killing 100 dogs....that is just horrendous.

It  was horrible and it only came to light when the man who did the killing tried to get some kind of worker compensation.

I am sure there have been other dog culls and downsizing in the sled dog industry. However this was a massive cull that was done in a horrific manner. It couldn't be ignored and covered up. There was a mass grave of dogs that had all died around the same time.

Even if there are no more massacres, the dogs lead horrible lives. They are living in squalid conditions with little care or food.
The dogs are a means to making money. No one cares about the dogs. You are right, when the word "industry" or "business" is used, the animals involved are treated badly.

It is like greyhound racing. The dogs exist to make money and are considered expendable and not worth treating well since they are expendable.
