PLEASE CROSSPOST

 

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

 

On April 28, at 7 p.m., the Central Somerville Library, 79 Highland Ave., in

Massachusetts will screen " Iditarod...A Far Distant Place, " a film which

promotes the Iditarod dog sled race. The film  refers to the Iditarod as

sporting

adventure and as an America tradition. Please tell the organizations presenting

the screening that this horrific race is not either of these things. Ask them

to cancel the screening or give equal time to the animal protection

viewpoint.

 

The organizations involved are the Friends of the Somerville Public Library,

Filmmakers Collaborative, and the Somerville Arts Council. Their emails are

below.
