Well then, shouldn't the individual mushers at these kennels be getting in trouble, not the race? if there are individuals that are abusive then go after them, not the entire sport. And I mean legally abusive. Lack of food/water and adequate shelter for example. Just because someone does not keep their dogs the way you do does not mean it's abusive.
It's sad the dogs died, but I really don't know how or what the entire stories involving the mushers at all. Did the dogs die because of the race? Were the mushers abusive? I don't know based on what you posted. Like anything I'd hope the answer would be to crack down on the people who are abusive, not ruin the sport for everyone.
