   NOTE:   Sorry about this ...It was rushed and was on the radio as   
           I was reading this area.....  there were 300 dogs but   
   100 needed to be located to homes etc...and well the business was   
   owned by another and part of...well bottomline is 100 dogs   
   that could have had homes and seen many people looking for   
   these types of dogs.... they were slaughter in a messy way   
   so no discriptions as too painful.   Buried in a remote area   
   which they hope to get to sometime and clean up.   
      
   This thanks to the VANCOVER Winter Games 2010 ... same games   
   where that luge racer was killed on a track that was wrong.   
      
   OK...Matt...sorry to you and all for the 300..when only 100   
   but 1 too many.   
      
    MM> The cull was disgraceful. I think the business should be shut down and   
    MM> its owners should be banned from owning dogs for life, people would of

   I agree.   There is an investigation going on in British Columbia   
   by the Province, and charges pending.   
      
   What is so obvious is there was homes open to these animals.   
      
   Just another example of profit and of course that if this happens   
   to an animal ..then I pray he or they are not my neighbours   
   as they are capable of doing this to anyone.   
      
   It ruined the games for me... No good memorys now...I don't   
   even want to ..and will not watch a special on TV about them   
   after this.   
      
   Organizers should be ashamed of their 2010 Winter Games
