@peta When not being forced to run through deadly conditions, dogs used in the Iditarod are generally tied up to a tiny barrel with practically no protection from the elements. These dogs are considered disposable. The Iditarod needs to end.
@peta In what sport are people not the equipment? They provide all the power in rowing for example.
@peta PETA has never been around working dogs.
@peta 0.2 deaths per race. How often is it run?
@peta They have to tie the dogs to trees because they will run off with or without you. The dogs love to run. Mushers take pride in the relationship they have with their dogs. They are not abused or taken advantage of.
