Dogsledding Criticisms -- Justified??

Dogsledding Criticisms -- Justified??

Taking place the first weekend in March every year, the Iditarod -- a dog sled race over 1,150 miles, across some of the world's most extreme terrain in temperatures often far below freezing -- has been called "The last great race on Earth." But is it now being threatened?

 

This year -- the 39th Annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race -- is already well under way in Alaska and as such the spotlight has returned yet again to the sport of dogsledding. And it has come under fire, again -- by the activists and animal rights organizations, such as PETA, who suggest that mushing is cruel and that the dogs are mistreated.

With all the buzz about dogsledding, I wanted to see for myself what it is all about.

I learned that sled dogs truly LOVE to run, more than anything, and mushers LOVE their dogs.  I've seen first hand that the dogs are certainly happiest when they  are  running! There's no denying the HUGE GRINS these dogs get on their  faces  when they are getting ready to dash through the snow! That is,  after  all, what sled dogs (Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes) are  bred to  do! RUN! Mistreating these dogs would actually be to NOT let  them run!  And, for those people who find themselves with dogs they  can't properly  maintain, there are surely plenty of generous,  kind-hearted mushers just  like Sally Swan who will be glad to rescue  them...

Having  just met with an amazing musher, Sally Swan, who runs a husky rescue  operation in Northern BC, I have to disagree with anyone who says that mushing, in general, is bad. While people unfortunately latch onto negative news, I'm quite sure that the actual truth is that the majority of mushers treat their dogs exceptionally  well! Actually, I believe that exceptionally good (rather than bad)  treatment is far more likely to be the sport's norm.

SC attorney general seeks probe into dog shootings
(By MEG KINNARD, Associated Press) South Carolina's state police have been asked to probe the shootings of several dogs found dead at a landfill in Chesterfield County, according to a letter obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.

Activists had called for state police to look into the shootings after animal rescuers said they had found two dogs shot in the head and buried at a landfill. Whitney Knowlton of Last Chance Animal Rescue Fund said she urged authorities to investigate the circumstances and whether the dogs found Friday came from the county-run shelter.

Walking Your Dog in 2009 If you are

Walking Your Dog in 2009 If you are going to walk your dog, why not do it in a beautiful place? Why not change your routine and try different routes? Remember, it's not only you that will be bored if the walk is always the same! Check out the locations below to upgrade your walks in 2009! Trail Walking: The Lowcountry has many walking trails available to you and your dog. Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission offers you several options where trails through the woods are well marked, and welcome to the canine members of our community. Many of these trails are even paved! Your dog will enjoy the experience of the new smells and sounds, the new animals, and new sites just as much as you! Would you like an added challenge? Stop every so often and have your dog do an autosit. See how long you can sit still and just enjoy your moment. When the trail is wide, let your dog have some extra leash and go with a control walk. Where they narrow, call them in for a heel! By the end, you'll both be more relaxed and ready to go home for a quiet evening. Beach Walking: Many of our beaches allow dogs to be walked on leash. Some of them even have off leash hours! Why not take your dog to enjoy the coastline with you? Work on your control walk in the dunes to allow your dog to enjoy the feel of the loose sand between their toes. Work on heel in the packed sand. How close were you really keeping your dog? Turn around. Your footprints will tell you. Try to keep your dog within the width of a hand. Each time you try, remember to praise your dog when they do a good job! City Walking: Why not take your dog on a walk in the city? Each of the local towns and cities offer their own charm. You can explore their downtown areas with your four-legged friend. Try working on your autosit at street corners, and down stays while pausing on park benches. Downtown Charleston itself offers Battery Park with its views of both Rainbow Row and the harbor! Waterfront Park offers a seaside pier with swings to sit on to rest. Hampton Park has beautiful gazebos, shaded areas, and the paddock for the city police. Many local restaurants offer canine friendly eating, and many neighborhood parks offer proper canine clean up materials! If you would like to try something new, why not let your dog carry your water bottle, a ball, and other necessary goodies in a canine backpack? This adds to the physical and mental challenge to your dog while freeing your hands for easier leash work!

Shelter closed after shooting of dogs
(Observer Staff Reports) -- Sheriff Sam Parker has shut down the county animal shelter and put its five employees on paid leave, while an investigation continues into last week's apparent shooting of dogs that had been staying at the shelter.

Parker said Monday that up to 50 dogs had been shot, and he has asked the Solicitor General's office -- South Carolina's equivalent of the district attorney -- to determine if any laws had been broken.

Dog watches over Slob's Studio in Los Angeles: Troubling terror of room chaos

Dog watches over Slob's Studio in Los Angeles: Troubling terror of room chaos

The dog sits on her comfortable chair as she watches over the slob’s studio. Apparently it is the one place the slob has yet to dirty up in the room.  Yep, only in Los Angeles will you find so much messy mayhem in the confines of such a small room. From the terror of underwear on the floor with unknown clean or dirty status to the closet of no return, this is a train wreck of ultimate proportions.

 

Not only does this occupant live here, she courts the confusion during the day as she works here too. Laying blame to the hours of the 'job,' there is no doubt this turmoil of catastrophic chaos is a messy room that everyone should be shaking their heads over.

 

Upon interviewing the dog in the room, she woofed 'No Comment! My owner is present and I need my kibble.'
