I signed a petition against the Iditarod today. Apparantly the poor dogs are treated like shit and even one was shot for running too slow. It’s all about winning the money. Disgusting.

and you believe everything PETA tells you?

That is complete horse-crap. I hope you are kidding. I’ve known a ton of mushers and they live for those dogs.

Don’t believe PETA.
Go to Alaska and visit the dog musher compounds.
Many are open to tourists.
The dogs are treated very well.

I call BS... mushers have been known to put injured dogs on the sled if they cannot keep up. Sled dogs are valuable.
