This is really upsetting to me. I am watching a show about the Itidarod. These sled dogs are so beautiful and loyal. From what I've seen, the men and women who run the Itidarod treat their animals wonderfully. They're concerned about their health and their wellbeing and pull any dogs that may be too tired or hurt to continue. The heros of the Itidarod are the dogs.

That said, this situation in Aspen is horrible. I can't believe someone would shoot a sled dog because they no longer have use for them. It sounds like this business was happy when the dogs were making them money. But now that their not, lets shoot them and throw them in a pit! Anybody who would do busiess with these people are as disgusting as the business owner himself. This is appalling. Those poor beautiful dogs! And puppies too! Who in their right mind could actually put a gun to a dogs head and shoot it? What the he11 is wrong these people?

Anybody here from Aspen? I'd love to hear your take on this situation.
