Cantwell, Alaska – Under, please discover a assertion from PETA Government Vice President Tracy Reiman in response to disgraced Iditarod musher Dallas Seavey’s announcement {that a} snowmachine struck canines being skilled by his kennel, killing two and leaving others in crucial situation:

Dallas Seavey can now add these canines’ traumatic accidents and horrific deaths to a file that already included racing canines who examined optimistic for opioids, working a kennel accused of killing canines who didn’t make the grade, and proudly owning a property the place a whistleblower reported discovering dying puppies. When mushers like Seavey search Iditarod glory, canines pay the value with their lives, and PETA is looking for this race to finish earlier than the demise depend rises any greater.

PETA—whose motto reads, partially, that “animals are usually not ours to make use of for leisure”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview.
