ALERT: Iditarod documentary nominated for Emmy - WRITE

May 19, 2007

PLEASE CROSSPOST WIDELY

From the Sled Dog Action Coalition, http://www.helpsleddogs.org

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences - Northwest Chapter nominated "Mother Nature's Turn to Dance" for an Emmy Award. The film is a 95 minute long form "documentary" that was the Iditarod Trail Committee's first attempt at depicting the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in its entirety."

Please tell the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences that it was wrong for them to nominate a film that hypes the barbaric Iditarod. Tell them that the Iditarod is animal abuse and should not receive an award. Movies that fail to detail the race's long history of dog deaths, illnesses and injuries aren't truthful.
