Completely, totatally, 100% off! I live in the far North. I've worked for the Yukon Quest, I've been to the Iditarod, I have many friends who run both races. Never seen anything like the sled dog action coalition claims happens.

Are there bad mushers? sure, just like there are bad abusive pet dog owners. As a musher, I'll guarentee you don't get far with your dogs or your fellow mushers if you aren't decent to your dogs.
