This is a very shocking piece of news from British Columbia. It is hard to grasp that animal cruelty is being carried out at such a massive level even in these times.
A renowned team of 26 forensic experts will work together now to investigate and exhume the mass grave in British Columbia where it is said some 100 dogs were buried last year when the company that owned them felt tourism had gone down in that area.
SPCA announced that the investigation will bring evidence that there is a strong case of animal cruelty against the dog owners.
It all began in April 2010 but it was revealed in January when the tour operator, Robert Fawcett who carried out this gross operation to kill the 100 dogs at the order of his bosses filed a worker's compensation claim saying that he suffered post traumatic stress from shooting and slitting the throats of 100 dogs. He verified he even buried the bodies while some were still alive in the mass grave north of Whistler.
The news has grabbed media attention and calls for tougher animal welfare laws in Canada. Thus, the forensic team that comprises of veterinarians, archaeologists and anthropologists from North America will be busy collecting evidence once the bodies of the dogs are recovered.
I hope a strong case is built with strong evidence against these bosses who were so damned. How can they be so cruel to just simply order killing 100 dogs. It is a shame.
