Whistler Animal Abuse Day

Whistler Animal Abuse Day

Whistler “Animal Abuse Day” April 21 and 23, 2016
Won’t Get Fooled Again?
Now 6 years after the Whistler massacre of at least 56 sled dogs on April 21 and 23, 2010; the guy that basically walked away from the crimes can resume his business activities. Where is he now?
The Liberals claimed that BC would have the best provincial animal protection following the massacre of the sled dogs. However, the animal abuses continue.
The Sled Dog Task Force lied about the sled dog slaughter being isolated when it was proven that cruelties are inherent. At the one day closed meeting the Minister Terry Lake denied Lifeforce’s request to have a moment of silence for all of those who have died. Was this task force formed to protect sled dogs or the sled dog industry?
The Liberal government then formed a Mushers' Association to obviously protect the industry not the dogs. The new guidelines permitted the continuance of 24/7 chaining, inhumane shooting and all the other abuses. The Lifeforce Report: “The Case Against Dog Sled Industries” and recommendations were not implemented.
Outdoor Adventures that owned the murdered dogs “donated” their business to Whistler Sled Dog Co. then that shut down. Where did all the dogs end up? And where do all the industry dogs who are bred and bred and bred to get the best ones finally end up now?
The Lifeforce petition was to the three Whistler Dog Sled Companies, Outdoor Adventures, Whistler Tourism, and Premier Christy Clark.

An activist, Wade Shaw, created an annual Animal Abuse Prevention Day to honour the sled dogs. Shaw said it’s time for Canada to get tougher on people who abuse animals. He proposed a registry of Animal Abusers. The idea of a registry is gaining support in the US. We need a joint registry in Canada and the US.
The governments can truly start getting tough on animal abusers by banning the sled dog abuse industry! And setting up an Animal Abuser Registry!
We end as the Who end their song:
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
