   Yes. Do some research. The HSUS is an animal rights organization. Some   
   of their leading officers were recruited from PeTA and the Animal   
   Liberation Front, which is considered a terrorist group. They have not   
   ever financed a single shelter or rescued a single dog--instead they use   
   their millions to push the animal rights agenda, just as does PeTA.   
      
   As for the Iditarod, it's a tough race, run by dogs bred for generations   
   to do just what they're doing. I'm sure you'd rather see all those dogs   
   sitting on somebody's couch eating bon bons, but the truth is they'd be   
   miserable if they couldn't do what they were bred for. Too bad what the   
   DOG loves gets lost in all this.   
      
   Go Mushers!
