If you have a problem with dog-pulling then I guess that you have a bigger problem with dog-sledding?
No I don't
I think this is the most asinine thing the peru council have ever allowed. But our council are a bunch of dogs. Time to get a new pet.
Quote from a PETA article ran 2-2-11:
"A company that operates dogsled tours of Whistler, British Columbia, reportedly killed 100 dogs last year when business slowed after the Vancouver Olympics. The killings came to light after an employee of Outdoor Adventures Whistler filed a claim for compensation for post-traumatic stress disorder that he says he suffered as a result of being told to shoot dozens of dogs or cut their throats and then dump them in a mass grave. The British Columbia SPCA is investigating and calling for a criminal investigation.
Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. Mushers routinely abandon, shoot, bludgeon, or drown dogs when they become ill, don't run fast enough, or are simply unwanted. In 2005, it was revealed that the largest dogsled tour operation in the U.S., Krabloonik Kennel in Aspen, Colorado, was shooting and killing as many as 35 dogs every year. A Krabloonik employee defended the killings, saying, "This is part of the circle of life for the dog-sled dog."
Any comments readers now????

Sadly we just had an election and because people don't thoroughly look into information available to them, they re elect the same people and get the same results.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, a quote from Einstein.
How many of the aldermen went home and googled this "sport" pro and cons and then voted upon available information and not that presented by someone who only told about the positive side.
I also realize that only one of the aldermen that voted aye was re elected.
Wow Jack actually took my advice and "googled" dog pulls but the problem he only looked at that that reinforced his previously held views. Jack I said Pro and Con.
The promoters are asking for cash donations that they will give to charity, I suggest you write your check out directly to IVAR or any other charity you with to donate to. No need to have a "middle man" with your donations.
