I not only find them to be repetitive but offensive and annoying. I do not appreciate being screamed at on the internet nor called names. Shantidog you are coming across as a screaming out of control activist which does NOT do your cause one bit of good. I just picture you at your computer with your face all red and sweating. Calm yourself down and speak rationally and with facts. Real facts spoken coherently not accusations thrown about willy nilly. I understand your passion however, attacking people the way you are doesn't gain many supporters.

I had posted on this topic before and don't intend on wasting my time doing so again. I read the webpage on the Iditerod every day. I was both enlightened and enthralled. I was saddened at the deaths of the three dogs but was comforted by the fact that the deaths were not caused by the race but by other reasons. From what I could see online most of the mushers seemed to truly care for their dogs. I know I am not there in person and I know that in some of the animal industries I have worked in I have seen animal abuse. However, what I read about this year I think there are far greater abuses going on in other areas than what I "saw" in this years Iditerod.

I have bigger "fish to fry now" so to speak
