Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Charges have just been laid against the manager of a Whistler sled dog company for the slaughter of dogs in 2010. Details here. You'll be glad to know that there is now a sled dog code of practice in BC.

I'm not optimistic this scum will get anything more than a slap on the wrist since it took this long to file charges. He would get a year in prison for each life he took if I was the judge.

The courts move very slowly here. It took a long time for charges to be laid against any of the Stanley Cup rioters from last year, and some are still pending apparently. The pace of justice leaves something to be desired.

When you hug your dogs today please remember these beautiful creatures whos lives were cut short by this vile act.

Also all the shelter dogs that die because the human race has let them down.

This story is what got me into Huskies in the first place. And I would never go to a for-pay dog sledding company unless I knew beforehand that the people running it would go out of business before killing or displacing extra dogs to make the bottom line. Disgusting.

How anyone could harm an animal is beyond me. The sad thing is they sleep fine at night because they don't care about what they're doing - No conscience at all, very sad.

It's rediculous. I hope all involved will be punished to the max for what they did.

I hate when people say "euthanized" that implies a humane painless death, the tortured and slaughtered them... Makes me sick, can help but picture one of those innocent dogs being mine.

Well, he was in court today and he pled guilty. He'll be sentenced in November. More here if you want it.

What scum, let him rot i say.. Such a disgusting act of cruelty, how do you live with yourself and wake up every morning after doing something like that? Just frustrates me that people like that are allowed to even walk the planet.

The guy was sentenced last week. He got three years probation in which he can't work in the sled dog industry, and a 1500 fine. You can read about it here: http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Probation+jail+time+convicted+sled+slaughter/7594285/story.html.

The BC SPCA's response is here: http://www.spca.bc.ca/news-and-events/news/whistler-sled-dog-sentencing.html ("To say we are shocked ... is an understatement").
