The fiasco in Whistler involving a man slaughtering 100 sled dogs was revealed in a recent article by the Vancouver Sun, the Howling Dog Tours manager who killed the dogs tried to contact the BC SPCA for help on two occasions.  One of the attempts was estimated to have been made immediately before the mass killings.  The BC SPCA didn’t investigate the business and turned down the request to shelter the dogs, claiming the dogs were not adoptable.  

We must put a stop to animal cruelty by throwing our voices behind new legislation that regulates the roles of all animal welfare stakeholders and closes the loopholes that fail our animals.  The BC SPCA and all animal shelters in British Columbia need to be regulated to follow a “rescue and save” plan, not a “seize and kill” plan.

Premier Campbell’s task force will be reporting to Agriculture Minister Ben Stewart with recommendations for reformed legislation by March 25th, 2011.  

Animals have no voice and because of this have to be treated in such a way as this? Lets be their voice and speak out. Lets make the difference, and fight in honor of Whistler 100 and any animal ever put in harms way.

I'm a youth in British Columbia and i represent a common voice, a voice for change. A previous and very succesfull petition is what forged that of this to make evident that young people are more than aware of what goes on and are here to show that this is the future, a future of change.
