Hello Friend, Good morning to you this Wednesday.

This is a major news story here in British Columbia- I am unsure if it made news in the
United States.

Earlier this year it came to light that over 100 sled dogs were killed as the owner ran into financial difficulty and could no longer afford them.

To read the entire story, go to my blog at:

P.S. First I must applaud the government for taking this matter seriously, and having tougher anti-cruelty laws.

I still have issue with the 'pleasure' sled dog industry. Sled dogs have a pretty poor life. I have seen nearly 50 sled dogs tied to short 3-5ft ropes/chains and stakes.

They wear a hole in the ground where they circle.

What else is there to do?

Sled dogs used by northern residents as a method of getting through the snow is so much different than sled dogs just used for 'pleasure'

In my opinion its NOT ethical and shouldn't be allowed at all.

Your thoughts?
