channels too. Is it just me, or is the Iditarod animal abuse? One quick part of the commercial showed a dog with snow and ice embedded all over it's muzzle....that flipped my switch. I used to think that the Iditarod was pretty cool when I was younger, but now that I know more, it just seems insane.

Its looks mean. Maybe the dogs don't suffer at all, but from my vantage point, it seems like they would be better off being pets, and if they were going to do a dog sport, make it a humane one such as agility, rally, or flyball.

Does anyone actually have Iditarod experience, or have studied it? I'll google it, but theres bound to be some websites that are very biased and quite against it, so their info might not be reliable, it might be too opinionated.

Thanks for your input, in advance.
