Bob Fawcett was the operator of Howling Dogs Tours Whistler and was the employee who submitted the workers compensation claim after he said he was forced to shoot 100 dogs in Whistler in April 2010.
Alleged sled dog murderer Robert Fawcett and Outdoor Adventures the company that purchased his business Howling Dog Tours, released a statement to the press late Wednesday, claiming they wished to make an effort at clearing up any questions hanging over the case.
The slaughter in April 2010 of 100 healthy sled dogs by Robert Fawcett has made headlines around the world after the case came to light Monday.
The released statement claims that Robert Fawcett informed Joey Houssian, owner of Outdoor Adventures in mid-April of 2010 that 50 dogs would have to be euthanized due to age or infirmity. Fawcett stated “These dogs live to run and were not able to do so and would have to be kept in cages with the result being they would have had very poor or virtually no quality of life.”
Are we expected to believe this suddenly convenient explanation for Fawcett’s horrific mass slaughter? What of Fawcett’s own sworn statement to WorkSafeBC in which he states the dogs were killed for financial reasons?
In the joint statement released by Fawcett and Outdoor Adventures, only 50 dogs are mentioned, yet in Fawcett’s WorkSafeBC documents he clearly describes the brutal killings of 100 dogs. Dogs he said that did not always die with the first shot. My biggest question after the release of this statement? If these dogs had to be euthanized for medical reasons due to age or infirmity why was a vet not brought in? In his WorkSafeBC documents Fawcett states that he consulted a vet who refused to euthanize young healthy animals, and so he was left with no choice but to kill the dogs himself. Which is the truth?
On Wednesday Fawcett was removed from the board of a group that sets voluntary guidelines for the industry. Seems Fawcett’s attempts to answer unanswered questions have left him with more questions to answer, and left his peers questioning his integrity.
To have your say on the matter and let the government know that you want Fawcett prosecuted for his murderous acts, call and email the BC Ministry of Agriculture, who is responsible for pursuing any legal/criminal action against those responsible for the death of these dogs. Jam their switchboard, flood their email in boxes, let them know we want action!
Contact info is:
The Honourable Ben Stewart, Minister of Agriculture
Office telephone: 250-387-1023… fax: 250-387-1522
Assistant email is Heidi.Scott@gov.bc.ca
Do not let up on this issue until justice is done! We can not allow these things to happen in Canada!
Until Tomorrow Remember
BE THE CHANGE YOU SEEK!

Thank you Colleen
Kelly says:
Gordon Campbell has chosen a “task force” to look into the matter, including an MLA, Terry Lake, who is a veterinarian. A rep from the BCSPCA and the Union of BC Municipalities will also be included. Gordon Campbell – who is leaving office next month – was very proud of the Olympics here, and I suspect that is the reason he’s acted on this. There has never been an animal cruelty case that was investigated by the provincial government in our entire history. Beware of muddy waters now that politicians have turned their attention to this.
Janette Hamilton says:
There is a chance of that any time politicians get involved with anything.
Diane Symons says:
I’m going to sent my e mail. This is no longer a sport it is just for money. Sled dogs (real sled dogs) live a long and happy life. I grew up with one came home from the hospital at 1 week old and a sled dog slept under my crib. True he was not used for sledding. Still he was a loving, caring dog. I was 1 week old when I had my first dog. They are now breeding for running for money for creed not for sport. Then like the grey hounds when they are no longer needed put down. Seems all the animal organizations that take people’s money are not doing anything but taking money. Wild horses and burros being killed, dogs, other animals where is the Humane Society???? I work alone???
Christine randolph says:
yeah bob fawcett has no integrity left…however, what about the integrity of his peers. where is this so called integrated friendly wonderful family of mushers. Wonder why he did not turn to help for them ? because he is an idiot or maybe he did turn to them and they turned his requests to take a few dogs, down, because their are also worried that their kennels are too large ????????? all might not be as it seems…
Janette Hamilton says:
There has been no evidence to the fact that he contacted anyone in the community for assistance with these dogs. Fawcett claims to have contacted the BCSPCA a couple of times but says they refused to help him. These claims have yet to be substantiated, and may very well be true. If they are it opens up many more questions in this case than it answers. Nothing is ever exactly as it seems.
Violet says:
I would like to see Dalton McGuinty take a page from the BC Premier. He should have done the same thing when the 102 animals were slaughtered at the OSPCA in May. Sad, he hid behind his Ministers and supported OSPCA.
There is something very encouraging about this and that is the fact that any animal issue is getting this kind of attention from any politician. I have always claimed politicians didn’t care about animals because they don’t vote. Maybe now they have finally realized the animals may not vote but their owners do. I don’t care if they take actoin for politican gain, as long as they take action.
Judy Watson says:
Gordon Campbells task force, What a joke!!! Gordon Campbell is as cold as ice, all he cares about is his buddies loosing money.
Minister of Agriculture, another joke, everyday animals in slaughter houses are having their throats slit while conscience, and Canada has the worst transportation for livestock going to be murdered, so what could he possibly help with?????
It was in the newspaper that the SPCA said they had two calls from the man, but were to busy respond, as the were busy here responding to animal cruelty calls, and didn’t have the staff to go up there, while there are other Spca’s.
On the radio yesterday there was a woman from rescue group up in that area who said if they had been contacted, amongst the rescue groups that deal with these types of dogs, they could of places all 100 in three days, she also mentioned that the SPCA knows of all these rescue groups… So why didn’t they contact her ..So if the Tourists STOP! going for sled rides this will Stop! What do you think happens to these dogs, when they are old or worn out??? They go to a nice retirement home, try a bullet to their head…Now perhaps this whole miserable Industry will be revealed, from the breeders on down, and it isn’t pretty..
Janette Hamilton says:
Whatever your personal feelings about Gordon Campbell as a politician, the fact remains that in a country where we are used to seeing politicians turn their backs on animal welfare issues, in this case at least SOMETHING is being done. Sure Campbell may be paying lip service to the demands of his voting public, after all it is an election year, but on the shiny side of things, at least steps have been taken to start an investigation of the matter. This is far more response than we have seen in the past, and as such is a step in the right direction. When you form a task force for any reason you stand a better chance of solving the issue than not. Sure Campbell may be playing re-elect me games, but not everyone on that task force is an elected official and not everyone will have a politically motivated agenda.
The dogs have already been killed, therefore there will now be all kinds of “rescue” groups out there who will step up and say “oh how could they WE would have taken them and worked miracles. Would they have stepped forward if given the chance? No one can say for sure, but they will sure be willing to tell the world they would have! Saying the SPCA should have contacted this group is actuallu laughable, it is a well known fact that rescue groups do not play well with others. It is also a known fact that the SPCA is not well liked by other rescue agencies, so it would have done them no good to attempt to get other agencies involved, most of us don’t tend to place returning calls from the SPCA high on our list of priorities. I can also tell you that any rescue group that tells you they could have placed 100 dogs in homes within three days of rescue is delusional. Especially if those 100 rescues are sled huskies who need rehab training before being able to live in the average family home.
I understand your anger, I understand your political disillusionment, I am after all Canadian, but let’s not take this to the extreme and condemn the entire industry. While changes do need to be made, there are good people out there who operate sled dog touring companies. They care for their dogs, they have a doggie retirement plans, and they are responsible people who keep dogs who love the work they do.
Sick Ot It says:
I do not trust this man for a minute. He’s a sick man. What is he doing with dogs? When someone is capable to do such of awful thing to an innocent animal, he could do the same thing to a child if he gets out of mind. I could not ask him to keep my own dog for a minute. I would be afraid of what he could do to it. Mr Fawcett, find another job. The animals deserve better that your useless and cruel presence. You executed 100 dogs without any pity and besides you received compensation for this. What’s happening with you? Be sure that all these dog’s spirits will haunt you for the rest of your life. They are not there anymore, but their spirits are. One day, the law of boomerang will get you. Be sure of that. Both of you, Mr Houssian and you Mr Fawcett, an advice for you. Don’t ever be next to the remaining dogs. Your place is not there anymore. Have some respect for those dogs who died so badly in April 2010 Stay away from the site where they rest. Respect!
Michelle Nott says:
Talk about sensationalizing the news. You should be disgusted with yourselves for buying into the crap that ‘so called’ journalists report on. They are about as crooked as the next guy. First of all, to sick ot it, Bob Fawcett is one of my friends. He is a good man, who did something wrong. This act does not define who he is. Do you know who he is? He is a good father, a great husband, a wonderful son and an amazing friend. You say that you would never let him near your dog or children, well guess what? I would. I would let Bob watch my kids or my precious dog ANYDAY. Not for one second would I think twice about it, and I would not worry at all. Do you know why? Because I know him. I know who he is. You do not. YOu know what you’ve read. You have no idea of what he’s been through and most certainly don’t have any idea of how troubled he was over this. That is apparent by your lack of human compassion, and your disgusting words. The title of this article is about lies and back peddling. Perhaps your energy would be better spent trying to make a difference. And perhaps instead of blaming the person you think murdered those dogs, you might want to put on a pair of glasses and look into this deeper. If there is someone lying and back peddling, you might want to call out Joey Houssein. He is the liar. He is the one who is trying to get words out there to save his own skin. This man is a multi-millionaire, and yet for him, this was all about money, and greed, and lack of anything human. As long as there are people out there willing to judge Bob without even knowing him, I will be on to defend him. Nobody will get away with persecuting him for things they know nothing about, without hearing what I have to say to defend him. He is a father, a son, a husband and a very good friend. Have some compassion for his family and friends at least. And another thing to everyone who is judging this situation. YOU DO NOT KNOW ALL THE FACTS. Let the RCMP finish their inquiry and then see what they’ve found out about this. You might all be surprised.
Janette Hamilton says:
Good people go bad all the time are you saying we should ignore Mr. Fawcett’s act of murder because he made a mistake? I suppose we should do the same with every serial killer out there huh? Because at one time many moons ago they were good people. Fawcett did the killing he has admitted that much and he can not blame it on orders from someone else because he had the ability to say “no.” No one is sensationalizing anything here, your dear “friend” is a killer! No one is persecuting Fawcett, they are just calling a spade a spade.
Sick Ot It says:
You call this man a friend? A friend does not do that to the ones which he was supposed to take care of. Those dogs were lke his family. He gave a name to many of them. And he executed them in view of the other ones without any pity. I do not call that a friend. He became their executioner. He killed them with gun and knife. Come on! The pitiful state in which he is now after the facts, he looked for it.
But tell YOUR DEAR FRIEND this: The boomerang effect exists and I strongly hope it will receive jolts from it very soon.
And once, again, NEVER I WILL ASK HIM TO KEEP MY LITTLE GIRL AND NOR MY DOG FOR A MINUTE.
Janette Hamilton says:
There will always be those who side with Fawcett because they themselves put no value on the life of an animal. Had Fawcett walked into a orphanage and started shooting babies one by one and burying them in an open pit mass grave, those people would be just as horrified as we are byt Fawcett’s actions. But for people like Michelle Nott it was just a bunch of dogs so why is everyone making such a fuss? People like her don’t understand the correlation between violence against animals and violence against humans. They figure that while unfortunate, violence against animals is not as serious, as violence against humans. They fail to grasp the concept that one leads to the other.
Whatever says:
Well we know the facts as stated by Bob himself don’t we? The fact that he shot dogs with a shotgun blowing off half their face while they try to run from him, blood everywhere, he chases after them stabbing them, slitting their throats and dumping them into a large hole where some dogs are still half alive whining and trying to climb out, he runs out of ammunition and has to finish the job with a knife. These are the facts as we know them from ol’ PTSD Bob. Do you dispute the facts as given by Bob?
Everyone who defends this guy likes to say he made a mistake, but I just keep wondering how he can kill a hundred of his “friends” mistakenly. Sounds like he was pretty determined actually, and, although he may “feel bad” about it now, the question remains how he could have perpetrated such an act to begin with. He didn`t have a gun to his head. And if he truly thought of those animals as his friends then money would not, should not, have trumped that friendship. So why Bob, how could you have done that?
I see Bob posted on a combat veteran PTSD message board claiming that although he wasn’t a combat vet, he could relate due to his ordeal. But Bob is forgetting that combat vets do not have to commit mass murder. They have the right and more than that, the OBLIGATION, to refuse unlawful or immoral commands. To not refuse an unlawful act is to open yourself up to legal prosecution. And public condemnation. Hence Bob’s predicament today.
Janette Hamilton says:
Thank You! Whoever you are! I have been trying to get this point across all along. ANYONE can be ordered to do anything, it is their CHOICE whether or not they comply with those orders, and most people will not compromise their own morals to carry out an order given by someone else. therefore we can conclude that Bob Fawcett did not see these dogs as anything more than a commodity. Had he truly seen them as “friends” he would not have perpetrated such an act upon them.
Jo Miller says:
Dear Michelle Nott,
Your friend is suffering from the horrific affects of brutally killing helpless animals it was his duty to protect. He should have put ads in the local paper, or in free services all over the Internet.
He should have sought help before killing these animals in full view of other animals he says he cared about.
What is wrong with you ? Protecting a man that should be locked up. He should not be allowed around children or animals. He is crazy.
You need help if you would call him a friend or allow him alone with your loved ones.

A medal of honor should be awarded to the dog which attacked Fawcett at the end by biting his arm. This dog tried to make Fawcett understand, but no way at all. I would have liked so much that he was able to get loose and get him wounded so badly.
Horrified !!!!!!!! says:
April 21st and April 23rd 2010. What sad days for the whole Canada and for the whole world. Everybody is shocked in reading what Mr Fawcett did to these poor dogs. They trained them, the gave them a name and without any pity, he killed them in view of the whole pack. Horrible! I do not have right words to write my anger. What about you Mr Fawcett? I heard that you are a so big-hearted man from some people. But those who said that, must not recognize you with the way you killed all these dogs using gun and knife without any pity. What are you doing there? You must love animals if you decide to work with them. You did this for MONEY? Come on! Their lifes were much more precious than MONEY. You should have known that before starting this awful job. It’s disgusting and nauseating. I strongly hope that you will pay this in jail for a long time. All persons involved in this must pay. If not, things will never be settled. The owner, the trainer and all those who work with working animals must have these three words printed in their heart: RESPECT LOVE RESPONSIBILITY
Without these three words, a responsible company must not hire people for this sport.
Those animals were workers in this company and all workers deserve to be respected.
Michelle Nott says:
I defend my friend Bob because he is just that…my friend. I proudly call him my friend…for all that he is.Which is so much more then any of you see him as.
Sorry to disapoint you, but I am fully aware of the corrolation between violence against animals and violence against women. I also agree with it.
I do not condone what my friend did. I cannot begin to imagine how horrible it was. For the animals, and for him. Why? Because he suffered at least as much as the animals. They are at least put out of their misery, where as his will haunt him for a long time. I can however, think outside the box, and have learned through this experience how judgemental we all are. Myself included. When I first heard of it, I too, was shocked and disgusted by what happened. When I realized who was involved, it was as though my mind opened up. I know this man. This man is my friend. This man is such a good person. Such a great dad and husband and a honest and trusting friend. So although he committed an act like that, he is still a human being,one that up until that moment was very well respected and liked. One act. One act is all it takes for us to turn on each other. To send someone to the wolves, discarding anything about them that is good. How horrible that it has come to this.
Perhaps I also understand how horrible this must have been for him,because I know what its like to not be well. I suffered a bad bad time with depression. There was a time before I got help and medication, when simply existing was painful. Mentally painfull but also extremely physically painful. I know what it feels like to feel so hopeless,and just desperately want the pain to stop. I started thinking of how great it would be not to wake up anymore, so the pain would be gone. That is when I KNEW that something wasn’t right.
Let me put it to you another way….When we are thinking clearly, and our mind is working normally, we would never rationally think that killing ourselves was the right choice. To go as far as to imagine doing it,and how you would do it…thats not thinking clearly. Something is wrong.
So although I don’t know a whole lot about PTSD, I can sympathize with Bob, and how horrible the whole thing would have been for him . I could understand the feelings of everyone if he was a bad person, who spent his whole life milking people for everything, and greedy, and mean spirited…but he is not. He is a good man who did a bad thing. There is a difference between him and some serial rapist. A huge difference.
We are all guilty of judging others. Including myself. But you are judging Bob and the situation he was in to hard. A good person, did a bad thing. We have all done things we aren’t proud of. I know I have. We don’t have to condone the act in order to have compassion for the person. I choose to stand behind my friend because he is my friend. My friends mean a lot to me, and are not disposable because of one act. I put more value then that in my friends. I believe in Bob. Someday I hope you all will find that extra compassion we all need from time to time.
david fialko says:
Michelle Not,
For you to defend a sociopath and then attack others for pointing out that the subhuman is anything more than heartless speaks tons of your integrity (none, zilt, zero).
Robin says:
Reading these comments has stirred me up quite a bit, and I probably should just close this window and forget all about it, but I feel somebody who actually knows something ought to make a statement here.
PTSD is a serious, incurable disorder. The fact that Mr. Fawcett is suffering from it is proof that his soul is in conflict over his actions, and that he’s not a killer. That’s what causes PTSD, when you find yourself in a moral double-bind, where any decision results in some kind of violence, physical or otherwise, to you or someone else. I wouldn’t want to be him right now. Because I’ve been him.
I have PTSD. To see all these people screaming for Mr. Fawcett’s head alternately terrifies and disgusts me. You’ve already got your revenge. Mr. Fawcett’s got a life sentence. From this point forward he never feels peace, never feels safe, never shakes the images of what he’s seen and done. He can never feel close to another human being, thanks to the secret he has to carry around. He will relive it literally every day, for the rest of his life.
I don’t know all the details of Mr. Fawcett’s situation, but at the time, he must have felt he had no realistic choice. If that hadn’t been the case, he wouldn’t have PTSD. Afterward, if we get counselling, we eventually understand that we could have done things differently. Which means we could have elected to feel a different kind of pain, one that might or might not have been as bad as this. When you’ve got PTSD, you live with the knowledge that society is just a vaudeville show. Today’s hero is tomorrow’s criminal. You really do have to do the right thing by yourself and let the monkeys howl. I’m certain Mr. Fawcett wishes he’d chosen that harder road now. And the shallow judgement of the likes of you is cheap indeed.
I hate what my brother did to his dogs. So does he, every bit as much as any of you. If you don’t grow up, you’ll upgrade his life sentence to a death sentence. It happens. A lot. It almost happened to me, and I didn’t have a pack of bloodthirsty song-singers screaming for my neck.
Whether you get your gears stripped in combat or somewhere else, it’s the same disease. I understand that you want “somebody” to “pay” for this atrocity. Well, it happened because your society is put together that way. So do the world a favour and swear off violence. That’s right: forget Mr. Fawcett, and change YOU. Use this event as motivation to change yourself, to reassess every value you ever held, to become part of a new society where the next guy doesn’t have to shoot his dogs. Because whatever the big picture is now, he thought he had to then.
By golly. I do feel better.
Janette Hamilton says:
Or you know PTSD could just be Fawcett’s way of making people feel sorry for him. Just because someone SAYS they suffer from something doesn’t make it so. Also there is such a thing as refusing to commit such horrific acts in the firs place. PTSD is real, but not in Fawcett’s case.
Horrified !!!!!!!! says:
Think before doing things is a good way to be proud of us. Mr Fawcett had three days to put his plan off and he didn’t. A good person did a bad thing ???????? He had time to refuse to continue this massacre and he didn’t. I feel sick for what he did and besides he receives PTSD for that. I don’t have any pity for him. But I have stomachache for sure. I strongly hope that he will pay for this. These dogs were his friends. He gave them a name. And he killed them so badly. We don’t call this a friend. It’s a monster.
Livingstone says:
Killing one dog is a mistake, killing two is doing a bad thing … then immediately realising and STOPPING this sadistic torture of forcing tethered dogs to see each other being viciously slaughtered, would have been the actions of a “good man” doing a “bad thing”. If reporting was accurate, this conscienceless sadist continued the barbarity all one day … slept, woke up … and started again the second day.
One dog, two dogs, three dogs, four dogs … count it, one at a time – It is a long way until one hundred. One hundred dogs dying in agony of mind – the torture of knowing what is going on … and – for some, the agony of a slow death from stabbing or having half a face shot away.
My younger brother is one of the handlers and mushers in this small community who has commented upon this twisted monstrosity – so I do have some “insight” into the industry. I shall not repeat my brother’s intensely strong sentiments, but only quietly marvel that there could be any moral, right-thinking individual with even a shred of decency, who could even attempt to defend this conscienceless creature.
“PTSD” … certainly, especially when monetary compensation is the “cure”.
This savage was so weak-minded that he could not say “NO”?
So thumb-sucking childish that he could not take the moral stand and defy his employers orders?
So devoid of a moral conscience that he could not refuse to inflict this brutality upon the animals?
It is now the end of August 2011, and I do hope that people, in general, will never forget this disgraceful atrocity and the terror inflicted upon those animals who waited in terror, knowing that they – at some point – would be the next to feel the butchery of this madman.
david fialko says:
Ok, so as a professional in the field, I have seen hundreds of people who have been correctly diagnosed and hundreds who have faked it. It is a disorder, not an illness per the DSM. The ones who fake it are usually motivated to do so out of fear of prosecution or legal obligations or to justify a behavior. The ones who are real, rarely talk about it publicly or use it to defend their actions. Mr. Fawcett is hiding behind this label for hopes that he will be exonerated. I have read his posts on both the veterans PTSD page and PTSDforums.org. He is incoherent and displays angry rants about “males”, clearly demonstarting his instability, sociopathic, and manipulative personality. First of Mr. Fawcett, I am a veteran and would love to meet your pathetic sorry behind face to face some day so that I could tell you how much of a coward and weak person you are. Secondly, I hope you live a long life, each day, reminded of the atrocities that you commited. A hundred dogs, in a pack, close quartered, tortured, shot and stabbed, over a two day period. They had to wathc each other die while your pathetic excuse of a human snuffed their lives out. I am not a violant person, but what you did makes me wish for simlar violant acts to be carried out on you. Thirdly, how can your wife or your children ever respect you ever again. Simply put, they cannot. They will look you in the eye and lie to you that they forgive you, but they will never ever forget what you did nor will they ever trust you again. As for your “friends” on this post, You people are jsut as pathetic, no matter what you say, your frined murdered and tortured a hundred dogs over a two day period for no good reason. Robert, you sir are the scum of all scum and I hope people like you and michael Vick will someday pay for what you did. But until that time, know this, that when ever someone mutters the name Robert Fawcett, they will think of a pathetic little nothing who has no spine and no morals. You will never ever be respected by anyone who is not a sociopath or experiencing sever mental illness. May the dogs souls rest in peace and may they haunt you till the day you die and into your after life you little piece of nothing.
SD says:
As an owner of 2 huskies, I am appalled and sick to my stomach about what this awful man Bob Fawcett has done. Why is he not in jail right now? He deserves the maximum penalty under the new laws. I’ve also emailed the minister’s office. This is an awful awful man, who is not even a human being for doing such a terrible crime. It is just horrendous…Bob Fawcett you will get your karma.
Kirk Sanderson says:
This issue resurfaced in one of the latest McCleans magazines. We have had 4 dogs pass away. The first we paid for everything we could and was euthanized out of our presents. She was returned to us and I buried her. I drank and I dug a deep grave so she would never be disturbed. The second died on my on her favourite couch on the deck from heart failure. I was not holding her when she died. The third I took to the Vet with cancer, I had her euthanized but was too much of a coward to be there when she passed. I left her confused and scared. It haunts me to this day. The fourth I held her as the needle passed in and told her she was a good girl, my love as I held her as she slumped forward, the bright in her eyes turned to glazed. It took me an hour before I could leave with out crying. I have 3 now and I have promised they will NOT pass alone. I have the courage to be there.
I am again haunted by any trespasses I have done that I may have committed to my loving animals.
I thought I had not taken care of whom loved me, but Robert, may you burn in hell for what you have done. I cannot comprehend two days of slaughter. I cannot comprehend what you have done. I cannot comprehend the terror, the pain, the inhumane thing you have done. If anyone can pass on to you my feelings, I will hate you till my dying day. There is someone in this world that wants you to die a terrible death when your time comes.
