The Iditarod is such a fascinating event, showcasing not only the incredible endurance of the mushers and their dog teams but also the beautiful, rugged Alaskan landscape. It's amazing to think about the level of teamwork, training, and preparation that goes into participating in this race. Wishing all the mushers and their furry teammates a safe and memorable journey across the wilderness. May this year's Iditarod be filled with unforgettable moments and the spirit of adventure that inspires us all!

I worked in dog sled racing. It's just animal abuse. These guys need way more criticism

Google dog sled rescue and the whistler massacre. Much like greyhound racing (only legal in a few states and thankfully almost finished) this is animal cruelty, plain and simple.

Guess what, Dallas? It's not the Sahara. There's no sand where you are. It's a tundra. So you should rephrase. And while you run and bury the dogs to death in the freezing cold snow, you chill in the back riding idly like you think you're Santa. It's really just pathetic and sick.

you are aware siberian and alaskan huskies love the freezing weather and snow? they absolutely love that weather. f off peta karen you know nothing about what these dogs like or dislike. and the sand comment, its matter of speech and only idiots like you take it literal. maybe he was confused with the sand stuck in the hole between your legs

I worked in racing and regardless of your opinion on whether racing is bad. Even in the world of mushing he is controversial for breeding too many dogs and bs like that. he has to my best guess around 300 dogs just him. 120 behind his house for racing and a bunch of flunkies to pull tourists. And im told the locals hate him. He is the face of the sport and he is a puppy milling animal abuser. for real. He littereally writes about whipping dogs in his book. hes had multiple handlers quit and go to the police or peta or the media. It really is a gross sport and filled with so much abuse. the racing is just a small part of it. they live on a chain and train the rest of the year. its such a low quality of life. I mean before the industrial revolution dogs didnt live on chains like that. The quality of life has GONE DOWN for sled dogs. @@zesolodar
