An employee of Canada's Outdoor Adventures company admitted to slaughtering 100 sled dogs, according to a workers compensation report he later filed.
The employee - whose name authorities have not yet released - worked as a general manager of Howling Dogs tour company in Whistler, British Columbia. He claimed he was suffering from post-traumatic stress after carrying out company orders to kill the dogs, the report said.
A company with the same name, Howling Dogs Tours in Canmore, Alberta, has no connection with this case.
The man cited "a slow winter season" that compelled him to decrease the size of the company's dog pack by 30 percent, the report said.
The slaughter took place over the course of two days in April 2010, when he allegedly shot and knifed the animals before dumping them into a mass grave, including at least one dog that was later found alive, the report said.

They killed the dogs over profits. Take this company down! BOYCOTT! !!!!!!
You can bet they sell their horses to slaughter too! Bunch of morons! Sledders have always abused and killed their dogs in horrible ways because they enjoy seeing animals suffer and they're such sick humans. He got compensated, isn't that nice??? Losers! Eat S*(^ and Die!!!
So is murdering 100 innocent farm animals. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PHILOSOPHICAL OR MORAL DIFFERENCE.
Doesn't Canada have laws against stuff like this? Slow season so you just slaughter the animals?
Its so hard to comprehend the cruelty that those dogs endured after being loyal and faithful companions as dogs are to us. I can only think of the look in their eyes and the pain they went through which was so unnecessary. We have to have limits as to how far people can go to make money. I hope there is justice left in this world.
Whatever a person does to hurt an animal should be done to them. These sickos get away with a fine or a slap on the wrist. We need more advocates for helpless animals. Where are the SPCA people when you need them?
Stressed worker gets comped, what a joke. Stressed worker should be charged as an accessory to murder.
How awful! If this is true, has the company not Thought of selling the dogs and getting a profit?
I think the company should be penalized for the slaughter of these animals. And page workers comp to the employee
All the retarded Americans need to quit bashing Canadians as people about this. I'm getting tired of reading retaliatory posts about how f-ed up the US is from other idiots who don't know what they're talking about either.
That's terrible and very sick world that we live in that we have no respect for the animals on this planet. We are all on a sick and dying earth. People are just sick and lost souls. I respect the animals more than all the sick and crazy ffffffing people in this ffffffing earth.
I can't help but notice how so many of the dog-killer-lovers write like 3rd graders. Just leave the big words to those of us in the deep end of the gene pool, mmkay?.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN – IT IS WRONG!!!! HOW DISGUSTING . I HAVE 2 SIBERIAN HUSKIES AND I HAD TO PUT MY 14 YEAR OLD SIBERIAN HUSKY DOWN. IT COST ME $600.00 TO DO IT BUT I WANTED IT DONE HUMANELY AND I WANTED HIM TO GO OUT WITH DIGNITY. IN THESE TOUGH ECONOMICAL TIMES I DIDNT JUST HAVE $600.00 LAYING AROUND, BUT I FOUND A WAY. MY 8 YEAR OLD HUSKY NEEDED EMERGENCY SURGERY AND THAT COST ME $2000.00. I FOUND A WAY. SO WHY DIDNT THIS GUY QUIT HIS JOB AND GO ON UNEMPLOYMENT INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT HE DID AND NOW WANTING STRESS LEAVE. IT REALLY FRIGHTENS ME THAT IF THIS GUY HAD THE BALLS TO DO WHAT HE DID WHAT ELSE IS HE CAPABLE OF? ALL FOR A JOB.. THAT IN MY EYES IS NOT WORTH WHAT THEY WERE ASKING.
I'm confused. Don't we already slaughter millions of cattle, pig, sheep, chickens, horses and dogs already per month for food? Don't we already club or poison to a slow death hundereds of thousands seals, dogs, rabbits... etc for population control? 100 dogs is not even a drop in the bucket. Way to overreact, people.
Canadians must be turning into softies – I would have expected a good old fashioned clubbing to death.
Hey, cut our northern neighbours some slack! They need to take a break from clubbing baby seals every now and then and do something different.
