ALERT: Save Iditarod dogs from brutality - WRITE

[Guest guest]

Please send protest emails and forward this alert widely.

 

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

 

 

Imagine the cruelties these cute sled dog pups will

eventually experience in the Iditarod.

 

Contact information, email blocks and sample letter are below.

 

Please help end the barbaric treatment of dogs by sending protest emails to

organizations that support the Iditarod. What happens to the dogs during the

Iditarod includes death, paralysis, frostbite (where it hurts the most!),

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

diseases, broken bones, torn muscles and tendons and sprains.

 

Dog beatings and whippings are common. During the 2007 Iditarod, eyewitnesses

 

reported that musher Ramy Brooks kicked, punched and beat his dogs with a ski

 

pole and a chain. Jim Welch says in his book Speed Mushing Manual, " A

training device such as a whip is not cruel at all but is effective. " " It is a

common

training device in use among dog mushers... "

 

Iditarod dog kennels are puppy mills. Mushers breed large numbers of dogs and

 

routinely kill unwanted ones, including puppies. Many dogs who are

permanently disabled in the Iditarod, or who are unwanted for any reason are

killed with

a shot to the head, dragged, drowned or clubbed to death.

 

When they're not hauling people, most Iditarod dogs are forced to live at the

end of a chain. It has been reported that dogs who don't make the main team

are never taken off-chain. Chained dogs have been attacked by wolves, bears and

other animals. Old and arthritic dogs suffer terrible pain in the blistering

cold.

 

Most Internet service providers allow people to send up to 40 email addresses

 

at a time. For your convenience, the addresses have been divided into groups

of 40. Please email the first group first. Individual email addresses are

given under the sample letter. The groups contain addresses for the Iditarod

sponsors, promoters, and the sponsors of the 73 mushers who signed up for the

2009

Iditarod. Email blocks with semicolons are on

http://www.helpsleddogsorg/sponsors.htm .

SAMPLE LETTER (Please personalize the letter.):

 

Dear Iditarod Supporter:

 

Please end your organization's support of the Iditarod dog sled race. For the

 

dogs, this event is a bottomless pit of suffering. What happens to the dogs

during the Iditarod includes death, paralysis, frostbite (where it hurts the

most!), bleeding ulcers, bloody diarrhea, lung damage, pneumonia, ruptured

discs, viral diseases, broken bones, torn muscles and tendons and sprains. At

least

136 dogs have died in the race. No one knows how many dogs die after this

tortuous ordeal or during training. For more

facts about the Iditarod, visit the Sled Dog Action Coalition website,

http://www.helpsleddogs.org .

 

On average, 53 percent of the dogs who start the race do not make it across

the finish line. According to a report published in the American Journal of

Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, of those who do finish, 81 percent

have

lung damage. A report published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal

Medicine

said that 61 percent of the dogs who complete the Iditarod have ulcers versus

 

zero percent pre-race.

 

Iditarod dog kennels are puppy mills. Mushers breed large numbers of dogs and

 

routinely kill unwanted ones, including puppies. Many dogs who are

permanently disabled in the Iditarod, or who are unwanted for any reason,

including

those who have outlived their usefulness, are killed with a shot to the head,

 

dragged, drowned or clubbed to death. " Dogs are clubbed with baseball bats

and if

they don't pull are dragged to death in harnesses..... " wrote former Iditarod

 

dog handler Mike Cranford in an article for Alaska's Bush Blade Newspaper.

 

Dog beatings and whippings are common. During the 2007 Iditarod, eyewitnesses

 

reported that musher Ramy Brooks kicked, punched and beat his dogs with a ski

 

pole and a chain. Jim Welch says in his book Speed Mushing Manual, " Nagging a

 

dog team is cruel and ineffective...A training device such as a whip is not

cruel at all but is effective. " " It is a common training device in use among

dog mushers... "

 

Jon Saraceno wrote in his March 3, 2000 column in USA Today, " He [Colonel Tom

 

Classen] confirmed dog beatings and far worse. Like starving dogs to maintain

 

their most advantageous racing weight. Skinning them to make mittens. Or

dragging them to their death. "

 

During the race, veterinarians do not give the dogs physical exams at every

checkpoint. Mushers speed through many checkpoints, so the dogs get the

briefest visual checks, if that. Instead of pulling sick dogs from the race,

veterinarians frequently give them massive doses of antibiotics to keep them

running.

 

Most Iditarod dogs are forced to live at the end of a chain when they aren't

hauling people around. It has been reported that dogs who don't make the main

 

team are never taken off-chain. Chained dogs have been attacked by wolves,

bears and other animals. Old and arthritic dogs suffer terrible pain in the

blistering cold.

 

Please end your organization's association with this horrific race.

 

Sincerely,

 

Iditarod sponsors

SAMPLE LETTER (Please personalize the letter.):

 

Dear Iditarod Supporter:

 

Please end your organization's support of the Iditarod dog sled race. For the

dogs, this event is a bottomless pit of suffering.. What happens to the dogs during the Iditarod includes death, paralysis, frostbite (where it hurts the most!), bleeding ulcers, bloody diarrhea, lung damage, pneumonia, ruptured discs, viral diseases, broken bones, torn muscles and tendons and sprains. At least 136 dogs have died in the race. No one knows how many dogs die after this tortuous ordeal or during training. For more

facts about the Iditarod, visit the Sled Dog Action Coalition website, http://www.helpsleddogs.org .

 

On average, 53 percent of the dogs who start the race do not make it across

the finish line. According to a report published in the American Journal of

Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, of those who do finish, 81 percent have

lung damage. A report published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine
