ALERT: Save Iditarod dogs from horrific cruelty - WRITE

 

 

Please send protest emails and forward this alert widely.

 

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

 

 

Sled dog puppies may die in the Iditarod or during training.

 

Contact information, blocks of email addresses and sample letter are below.

 

Please help end the horrific treatment of dogs by sending protest emails to organizations that support the Iditarod. Six dogs died in the 2009 race, including two dogs on Dr. Lou Packer's team who froze to death in the brutally cold winds. 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.

 

During training runs, Iditarod dogs have been killed by moose, snowmachines, and various motor vehicles, including a semi tractor and an ATV. They have died from drowning, heart attacks and being strangled in harnesses. Dogs have also been injured while training. They have been gashed, quilled by porcupines, bitten in dog fights, and had broken bones, and torn muscles and tendons. Most dog deaths and injuries during training aren't even reported.

 

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." He also said, "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.

 

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 2010 Iditarod sponsors, promoters, and musher sponsors. Email blocks with semicolons and commas are on http://www.helpsleddogsorg/sponsors.htm.

SAMPLE LETTER (Please personalize)

 

Dear Iditarod Supporter:

 

For the dogs, the Iditarod dog sled race is a bottomless pit of suffering. Please end your organization's support of this event. Six dogs died in the 2009 Iditarod, including two dogs on Dr. Lou Packer's team who froze to death in the brutally cold winds. 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. For more facts, visit the Sled Dog Action Coalition website, http://www.helpsleddogs.org .

 

During training runs, Iditarod dogs have been killed by moose, snowmachines, and various motor vehicles, including a semi tractor and an ATV. They have died from drowning, heart attacks and being strangled in harnesses. Dogs have also been injured while training. They have been gashed, quilled by porcupines, bitten in dog fights, and had broken bones, and torn muscles and tendons. Most dog deaths and injuries during training aren't even reported.

 

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." He also said, "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, 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.

 

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.

 

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

 

Sincerely,

Please send protest emails and forward this alert widely.

 

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

 

 

Sled dog puppies may die in the Iditarod or during training.

 

Contact information, blocks of email addresses and sample letter are below.

 

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

organizations that support the Iditarod. Six dogs died in the 2009 race,

including two dogs on Dr. Lou Packer's team who froze to death in the brutally

cold winds. 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. 

 

During training runs, Iditarod dogs have been killed by moose,

snowmachines, and various motor vehicles, including a semi tractor and an ATV.

They have

died from drowning, heart attacks and being strangled in harnesses. Dogs

have also been injured while training. They have been gashed, quilled by

porcupines, bitten in dog fights, and had broken bones, and torn muscles and

tendons. Most dog deaths and injuries during training aren't even reported.

 

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. " He also

said, " 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.

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

are given under the sample letter. The groups contain addresses for the 2010

Iditarod sponsors, promoters, and musher sponsors. Email blocks with

semicolons and commas are on http://www.helpsleddogs.org/sponsors.htm. People

and

organizations who support the  lditarod may deny it or give misleading

statements about their involvement. The Sled Dog Action Coalition has

documentation

to prove what it says and will provide it upon request.

SAMPLE LETTER (Please personalize)

 

Dear Iditarod Supporter:

 

For the dogs, the Iditarod dog sled race is a bottomless pit of suffering.

Please end your organization's support of this event. Six dogs died in the

2009 Iditarod, including two dogs on Dr. Lou Packer's team who froze to death

in the brutally cold winds. 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. For more facts,

visit

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

 

During training runs, Iditarod dogs have been killed by moose,

snowmachines, and various motor vehicles, including a semi tractor and an ATV.

They have

died from drowning, heart attacks and being strangled in harnesses. Dogs

have also been injured while training. They have been gashed, quilled by

porcupines, bitten in dog fights, and had broken bones, and torn muscles and

tendons. Most dog deaths and injuries during training aren't even reported.

 

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. " He also said, " It is a common

training device in use among dog mushers... "

 

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