25 Emaciated Sled Dogs Rescued in Alaska.

While I agree that this is pretty horrible, I do wish you didn't post it with the underlying implication that it's related to sled dogs. If these dogs had been in somebody's basement and were toy poodles and had never heard of a sled, you wouldn't have paid any attention. But put them on a sled team or on a tether and now summitview takes notice.

This is a case of animal cruelty. Period.

Agreed... now... whos going to come destroy this stupid mouse in my condo. I think it's become clear that Goober will have nothing to do with the stupid thing. Anyone???

You kill my mouse and I will present you with a nice glass of wine... mmmmm wine... I'm drinking my blackstone merlot right now... it's pretty satisfying....

I will send you Ares. Ya know, corgis are excellent mousers.

Alot of people are more passionate about one issue. Obviously sled dogs are hers. Mine is maily Rottweilers. Some go for dog fighters. It IS animal cruelty, and it's being told by someone who follows sled dogs.

Sounds good. Now does Ares like wine? LOL... or are you going to come drink his glass while he tends to the mouse?

You can't beat a JRT for mousing.

But dog fighting is illegal and cruel period. Dog sledding is NOT. Yes there are bad people in any group, so some sled dogs are victims of cruelty. But it is erroneous to postulate a correlation where none exists.

Thats as bad as saying all pitties are dangerous (all sled dog owners are abusive and need summitview to save their dogs)

Does this dog look in any way malnourished or mistreated?




heck he loves his job so much you stick a novice (my 7 year old son) in the sled and he runs for the sheer pleasure of running.



Summitview would like to stop this dog from doing what he loves best. (well also stop people like me from breeding dogs apearantly too...and most other people on chaz who breed. Only people who are wealthy, have large fenced yards..scratch that-AR type that likely supports the abolition of pets as a whole)

For the record I have no problem with dog sledding.

summitview stated on the first page after being questioned that her reason for this thread to get help for those dogs in particular.

Then why's one of the tags for this thread "Iditarod" when Bartko describes himself as a recreational musher and the only mention of him being a part of that event was in twnety five when he was thrown out.

And if her agenda is help those dogs... why not list what animal shelter they are staying at?

Don't know how much clearer I can be.

Corgi, I was just thinking - maybe Summit's problem is a navigational problem?
