Dan MacEachen is being deluged with complaints about his practice of disposing of unwanted sled dogs, so he's says he will make changes. The owner of Krabloonik, described as the largest sled dog operation in the country, says he will discontinue disposing of old dogs or unhealthy puppies by shooting them in the head with a . 22-caliber rifle, then dropping them in a large pit used to collect feces. MacEachen says he has employed the practice for the last 30-years. He says, "What we're doing is distasteful, but it's perfectly within my legal grounds to do it. " MacEachen also challenges the way the story has been reported. He vows to work to find more homes for the unwanted dogs by contacting rescue groups. The controversy stems from statements made by former Snowmass Village employee Harry Portland, who claims to have seen some dogs still moving after being dumped in the feces-filled pit. "You'd be dumping (feces) all through the day and you'd see the dogs in there. Some of them would be kicking and moving a little bit -- occasionally you'd see their eyes moving. " MacEachen denies the claims, saying is unaware of any dogs surviving in the pit. Similar operations in the U. S. say few kennels still practice euthanizing dogs in such a manner. Several animal rights' organizations, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals call the practice "barbaric". The Pitkin County Animal Shelter says it will also work to get the unwanted animals adopted and is willing to take-in dogs scheduled for euthanasia. Krabloonik, located in Snowmass Village, charges tourists as much as $295 for sled dogs rides through the mountains.
