Title: 100 Dogs in Canada Killed After Business Slows This is very disturbing

Sad and awful story to share from the AP:
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.
This made me ill! How can a person do this to these dogs?

I can't look at this story. I saw/read it in the news, but it is too disturbing. This is stomach turning.
What have we become? What has become of humanity? This is beyond HORRIFIC!

Agreed. We need to know if we are going to do anything. We cannot always do so, but... maybe such a report will encourage us to give our own pets an extra hug.
