Let's hear some details of the "considerable efforts"

Remember there was a suggestion the humane society turned down the dogs but after the humane society said "what" that claim seems to have slid away:

Owner of slaughtered sled dogs says half had to be put down

The Canadian Press     

VANCOUVER—The B.C. man linked to the slaughter of upwards of 100 sled dogs in Whistler says he estimated about half had to be put down because they were "too old," "sick" and "not adoptable."

In his first comments on the gruesome case this week, Robert Fawcett says he told the owner of a business buying his dogsled tour company that about 50 dogs would be euthanised.

...

Howling Dog Tours cared for the dogs and ran tours on behalf of Whistler tourism company Outdoor Adventures, which had a financial stake in Howling Dog until it took full control last May — the month after the slaughter.

The joint statement by Fawcett and Outdoor Adventures says "considerable efforts" were made to find adoptive homes for the dogs but those efforts were unsuccessful.

The motive for the crime was profit so hit those that took the profit with a fine. Follow the money.
