PETA’s whistleblower exposé of The Pet Blood Bank in Texas documented that about 150 greyhounds were living in squalid conditions in an old turkey shed.

That’s exactly what the dogs used in the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race are forced to do. It’s only one of several such races in which “mushers,” or dogsled drivers, compete for money and other prizes. The dogs, who are viewed as little more than snowmobiles with fur, are lucky if they finish the race alive and without serious injuries.

PETA’s exposé of dog-sledding operations owned by Iditarod mushers revealed that arthritic, crippled, and injured dogs were denied veterinary care; chained dogs had worn-down, raw, and bloody paw pads from frantically running in tight circles around the plastic barrels that were their only “shelter” in below-freezing cold; and dogs were dragged and injured, even killed, …

The dogs are subjected to biting winds, blinding snowstorms and sub-zero temperatures, and they risk falling through treacherous ice into the frigid water. Even though the race can take up to two weeks, the official rules require that the dogs be allowed only 40 hours of rest—in total. Most states have laws that prohibit overdriving or overworking animals, but …

https://headlines.peta.org/iditarod-race-will-leave-you-outraged/
Two dogs went missing—one of whom has still not been found—a musher was apparently forced to drop out after dogs he was using were found in poor condition, and outrage ensued when the Iditarod fined mushers who had brought dogs inside to protect them during a dangerous storm. Before the race even began, multiple dogs were attacked and one was killed during training, …
This Is Why Dogsled Racing Is Cruel - peta2
https://www.peta2.com/news/dogsled-racing/
But what many people are unaware of is that dogsled racing, no matter where it takes place, is cruel. Dogs used in sled races such as the Iditarod are forced to run about 1,000 miles in nine days or fewer, which means covering at least 100 miles every day. That would be the equivalent of running about four marathons every day for a week.

A recent report released by the Greyhound Board of Great Britain revealed that more than 400 greyhounds used for racing died or were euthanised in 2020, despite COVID-19 restrictions that drastically reduced the number of fixtures.

Dog-racing stadiums have been closing down across the country – a clear sign that the British public is no longer interested in watching dogs being exploited for this outdated and cruel pastime. Many former racing stadiums have been redeveloped into sites that host car racing, football, or other sports that involve willing human participants. Urge Oxford City Council to do …
