I want a Do-Over Please ?
When I posted my earlier remarks about the Iditarod
dog event, I honestly forgot that we had a very much
loved & respected Pet Talk member whose name is Bea
and whose login name is IDITARODFAN. If a had a Do-over,
I would preface my comments with an apology to Bea &
assurances that I meant nothing personal with my opinions
on the Iditarod, as it is run nowadays.
I would not however change my thoughts on the event
unless someone could show everyone that these dogs
are housed & treated humanely, and are not forced to
run to the point of exhaustion. If they love to run "that far"
why do the mushers need whips? Liz.
P.S. I was not influenced by the posting of info by
ILoveHounds, I'm an old fart, and I've read much earlier
criticisms of the treatment of the dogs in Iditarod,years
ago.
