Whistler employee told to shoot 70 sled dogs in post-Olympic cull Vancouver— The Canadian Press Published Monday, Jan. 31, 2011 11:05AM EST At least 100 healthy sled dogs have been destroyed in Whistler – victims of a post-Olympic slowdown in demand for sled dog tours. Word of the slaughter is contained in WorkSafe B-C documents obtained by CKNW radio. The documents show a worker with Outdoor Adventures Whistler was granted compensation for post-traumatic stress disorder after being told to shoot the dogs. The cull occurred last April and the company does not dispute that the dogs were put down – except to say that the worker indicated 70 were shot, when about 100 were killed. theglobeandmail.com
