B.C. Sled dogs murder ‘okay’ because they ‘aren’t real pets’
“These are not pet dogs we are dealing with, and so the method of euthanasia in a veterinary office is not the only humane method of euthanasia. I think that’s an important thing to say.”
This is totally unacceptable. Many, MANY Sled dogs are adopted out and adapt to living as ‘pets’ every year. The SPCA has claimed that they were ‘unadoptable’ without meeting, viewing, or temperament testing a single dog. This could eventually effect all working dogs.
