Canadian province responds to sled dog killings with new rules

Canadian province responds to sled dog killings with new rules

By Kari Huus, msnbc.com

The government of British Columbia, Canada has published new regulations governing the handling of sled dogs — a move prompted by a grisly 2010 case in which a tourism company near Whistler killed as many as 100 animals that become "surplus," amid slumping business.

The Sled Dog Code of Practice is a step — a small one, according to critics — toward addressing problems in competitive and entertainment dog sledding that is mostly unseen.

"The problem with this whole issue is these (breeding and training) operations are out of the public eye," said Debra Probert, executive director of the Vancouver Humane Society. "People see the dogs in public, but they don’t see what goes on behind the scenes."

Calculate Your Pet’s Age

You may be surprised to know that a dog’s relative age is based on his size: small dogs mature faster but also live longer than large dogs. So multiplying a dog’s age by 7 isn’t accurate most of the time. The table below provides a more precise reckoning of your dogs age.

4-20 lbs			21-50 lbs			51-85 lbs			Over 85 lbs
Human 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20	Dog 18 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 68 72 76 80 84 88 92 96		Human 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18	Dog 16 22 28 33 37 42 47 51 56 60 65 69 74 78 83 88 93 98		Human 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16	Dog 15 20 30 35 40 45 50 55 61 66 72 77 82 88 93 99		Human 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13	Dog 14 19 32 37 42 49 56 63 70 77 84 91 98

Even after loss, couple wants to help pets - The News Desk

Marye Byrd took in an abandoned beagle with fleas, worms, tick bites and other wounds about two years ago.
She and her husband, Dennis “Sarge” Byrd, restored Little Byrd’s health and put her up for adoption. But then a grass allergy caused the dog to lose fur.
“People didn’t want a dog that had medical issues,” said Marye Byrd, 40.
So they kept Little Byrd.
In fact, the family had 20 cats and seven dogs—all rescues—until a fire destroyed their home in Spotsylvania County on Saturday. All but two cats perished in the fire.
