Disgusting Story About Dog Abuse and Dog Sled Industries.

Argh. This news story really breaks my heart. It talks about how a man was ordered to put down a hundred sled dogs with guns, while other dogs where watching him do it.

I'm not making this up. I would have to be a very twisted person to even be able to come up with a story as cruel as this one. Here's the link to the global news story:

Well... what is my opinion? I'm sure you know I love dogs. I think they are like a gift from some kind of god. And right now all I can feel is this sick-to-my-stomach kind of feeling.

And I'm outraged too. Part of me wants to beat the crap out of the man who killed the dogs, and more importantly out of the company's staff of Outdoor Adventures, and owner (Joey Houssian). I bet if I sat across from that dude at the bar, I would probably lose it. I'm pretty even tempered and at times a coward, but this kind of news makes me ready for murder. Like hot blood boiling rage type of anger.

Part of me feels ashamed too. I always thought dog sledding would be so fun. It looks so fun. I didn't even think about how the dogs were treated. Luckily, I haven't done this thing on my bucket list first because I think the guilt would kill me.

I'm glad I know about this now, before I had a chance to give any of my money to such a disgusting creature as Joey Houssain and his vile company.
