Sled Dog Cull Traumatizes Worker "The worker describes chasing after a dog that survived a shot to the face: "Although she had the left side of her cheek blown off and her eye hanging out, he was unable to catch her." According to the claim, the dogs panicked as they watched their compatriots being killed, and attacked the worker as he finished his job. At one point during the slaughter, he ran out of ammunition and had to kill an aggressive dog with a knife... The dogs were killed because of a "slow winter season" after the Winter Olympics."
