Please make your feelings about this slaughter known to the head of the task force

VANCOUVER — Premier Gordon Campbell says he hopes a task force he appointed Wednesday will provide answers about why 100 sled dogs were killed in Whistler last spring.
“Like everyone else, I was sickened by what I heard. No creature should ever have to suffer in the manner that has been reported,” said Campbell.
“We want to get the facts and act and make sure it doesn’t ever happen again. The tragic and disturbing details that have emerged around how these dogs were inhumanely treated are not acceptable to British Columbians or to their government.”
Campbell said he doesn’t believe the dogsledding industry is properly regulated at present and this is something where “people would like to see more oversight.”
The task force will be headed by Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake, who is also a veterinarian. It will also examine why WorkSafeBC did not provide information on the killings of the dogs to appropriate authorities when it first learned of the mass cull, believed to have been the largest in Canada.
