PLEASE CROSSPOST

 

>From the Sled Dog Action Coalition, http://www.helpsled dogs.org

 

The Humane Society of Central Oregon is having legally blind Iditarod

musher Rachael Scdoris speak at its "A Dog Day in May" event on Saturday, May

23.  The Iditarod has a long, well, documented history of dog deaths, illnesses

and injuries. It's appalling that the Humane Society would promote the race

and Scdoris. Scdoris forces her 100 dogs to live on chains.

 

Six dogs died in the 2009 Iditarod. Two dogs were on the team of  Dr. Lou

Packer. Dr. Packer told the Anchorage Daily News he  believes the two dogs

froze to death in the brutally cold winds.  For the dogs, the Iditarod is a

bottomless pit of suffering. What   happens to the dogs during the race

 

includes death, paralysis, frostbite of the penis and scrotum, bleeding ulcers,

bloody  diarrhea, lung damage, pneumonia, ruptured discs, viral

diseases, broken bones, torn muscles and tendons and sprains. At least 142 dogs have died

in the race. No one knows how many dogs die after  this tortuous ordeal or

during training.

 

Tell the Humane Society of Central Oregon not to hype the Iditarod or

musher Rachel Scdoris. Ask them to please cancel her talk.
