100 huskies shot and stabbed to death after tourism slump

*Tour operator hit by post-Olympics slump
*Injured dogs tried to crawl out of grave

"It wasn't always a clean, one-shot kill"
ONE hundred husky dogs were slaughtered after the 2010 Winter Olympics because they were no longer needed to pull tourist sleds at a Canadian ski resort.

The killings were reportedly carried out over two days in April by one worker with a shotgun and a knife, with reports of injured dogs crawling out of a mass grave.

The dogs were killed because business slumped in the two months after the Games and they were no longer needed by tourism companies Outdoor Adventures and Howling Dogs, which sell dog-sled rides to tourists, reports said.
