Dear @Hyatt - sled dogs continue to be factory farmed and mass chain warehoused for the deadly Iditarod. Please end your sponsorship via The Wildbirch Hotel - JdV by Hyatt. You are supporting animal suffering and needless dog deaths: https://t.co/eV6RsGm05u
@SpeakerLuis@ABC It’s not about them being out in the elements. It’s about them being overdriven and overworked and doing a race path in a week that used to take a month.
@VeneziaFrancis@ABC They do love to run - they do not, however, love to be mass chain warehoused as a primary method of confinement. These dogs are factory farmed for this race. This is a championship kennel:
@DarrellWal58808@ABC Sled dogs can participate in any number of things to meet their urge to work. I personally competed in racing, obedience, agility, rally, and confirmation with mine. Sled dogs do love to run - but they do not love to run 1,000 miles in one week’s time.
@grpitts123 @ABC Last year, three dogs were blatantly run to death. How many kennels have you visited? How many have you lived at as a handler? How many Iditarods have you attended? Are you familiar with all the dog deaths the race has accrued? https://t.co/6r67OpB5vK
@grpitts123 @ABC The real story is: “starting with the first Iditarod race in 1973, animal protection groups criticized the marathon as cruel to dogs. They cited the high number of dog deaths on the trail – 15 the first year, 16 the second.” Source: https://t.co/lVX11tVcfY
The #Iditarod has killed over 150 dogs.
That didn’t stop @F1 & Liberty Broadband from ignoring our pleas for them to cut ties with the deadly race at their annual meetings today.
