My god! The sled dog industry! In Alaska, where the 1000-mile race, The Iditarod, happens, sled dogs are specifically noted as exempt from cruelty laws. But even if you have the best laws for them, those laws mean nothing if there isn't anyone to oversee them and travel to the remote areas to check up on the dogs and ensure they are getting food and water, veterinary oversight and care, enrichment, that their shelters are clean and dry, that they're mentally + physically healthy, and that a life care plan is in place for each and every dog. In Canada, sled dogs fall under agricultural laws. In British Columbia, they can still live tethered and live outside 24/7 and they can still be shot. Sure there are supposed to be records to support why the dog had to be shot, but without anyone following up, checking up and visiting the dog yards, it's left to self-regulation. I would recommend reading the following links to better understand how sled dogs are viewed differently and how the rules for them are different than the dogs we share our homes with. I have met so many sled dogs over the years and I'll say it again and again... the 200+ former sled dogs I've met are no different than any of the over 500 rescue dogs I've met and photographed and the rules should not be any different for them.
