The Iditarod Kills Dogs—But These Companies Still Sponsor the Race

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

Forcing dogs to pull a sled until they inhale their own vomit and die should NOT be an event. 🙅 If you agree, help end the Iditarod!

Over 150 dogs have died since Alaska’s 1,000-mile Iditarod race started, and too many more to count have died during the off-season while chained up or were killed because they couldn't run fast enough. The dogs are forced to run about 100 miles a day for around 10 days through blinding snowstorms and freezing temps. 🥶 Some have frozen to death, and others have been strangled by towlines, had heart attacks, or died from internal bleeding.

Many companies—including Coca-Cola, Costco, Nestlé, Pizza Hut, and Safeway—have already cut ties with this death race, but we can’t rest until the total number of sponsors is 0. 🗣️

Please urge Alaskan Brewing Company and Northern Air Cargo to rethink their future sponsorship of this abusive race!

Dogs forced to run in the Iditarod are subjected to biting winds, blinding snowstorms, and subzero temperatures. Up to half of those who start the race don't finish. Many pull muscles, incur stress fractures, or are afflicted with diarrhea, dehydration, intestinal viruses, pneumonia, or bleeding ulcers.

More than 150 dogs have died in the Iditarod since the race began, not counting innumerable others who died during the off-season while chained up or who were killed simply because they lacked the speed and stamina to make the cut.

In late 2018 and early 2019, a PETA eyewitness worked at two dog kennels owned by former Iditarod champions and found widespread neglect and suffering. Dogs were denied veterinary care for painful injuries, kept constantly chained next to dilapidated boxes and plastic barrels in the bitter cold, and forced to run even when they were exhausted and dehydrated.

Please rethink sponsoring this deadly event in the future. Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.
