6 dogs died in ‘17. only 1 last year and it got run over.
To call people who care about dogs dying for a race is over the top for me but I do not live there and don’t know enough about the sport to make a very informed comment except that I don’t take pleasure in seeing animals die from exhaustion.
This isn’t hunting.
I respect your posts and the issue doesn’t mean enough to me to argue with another FReeper.
But I’ll tell you one thing. These dogs’ deaths bother me more than what happened in NZ.
I’m referring to the race itself, as a long-standing Piece of Americana. I hate to see animals die needlessly; I take glee in seeing hardened criminals, murderers and terrorists die by the thousands/millions.
I agree 100% with that sentiment on NZ.
I agree, though that last line
had me going, “Ooooh.”
