In 2009, six dogs died. Among them, two dogs on Dr. Lou Packer’s team froze to death in brutally cold winds. A romanticized version of the Iditarod fails to reveal dogs who endure death, paralysis, frostbite, bleeding ulcers, bloody diarrhea, lung damage, pneumonia, ruptured discs, viral disease, broken bones, torn muscles, tendons and sprains. For more facts, see the Sled Dog Action Coalition’s website: http://www.helpsleddogs.org Even training runs can be fatal, when dogs encounter moose, snow machines, semi- tractors, ATVs or other vehicles. Dogs drown, strangle in harnesses and suffer heart attacks. They are gashed, quilled by porcupines, bitten in dogfights, and more. Training injuries or fatalities are rarely reported. Mushers beat dogs as a form of intimidation style training. Eyewitnesses at the 2007 Iditarod said musher Ramy Brooks kicked, punched and hit dogs with a ski pole and chain. “A training device such as a whip is not cruel at all but is effective,” writes Jim Welch in his Speed Mushing Manual. “It is a common training device among dog mushers." At Iditarod puppy mills, mushers over-breed dogs and routinely kill unwanted ones, including puppies. Dogs who are disabled, old, or otherwise undesirable are shot in the head, dragged, drowned or clubbed to death. "Dogs are clubbed with baseball bats and if they don't pull are dragged to death in harnesses," wrote former Iditarod dog handler Mike Cranford for Alaska's Bush Blade Newspaper. Jon Saraceno claimed in USA Today that “He [Colonel Tom Classen] confirmed dog beatings and far worse. Like starving dogs to maintain racing weight. Skinning them to make mittens…” During the race itself, mushers speed past checkpoints. At best, veterinarians give dogs brief visual checks. Rather than pull sick dogs, veterinarians often dose them with antibiotics to stay in the race. I urge your organization to cut ties with the cruel Iditarod dog sled race. Sincerely, .

  • Flying the An-2 in Guatemala and El Salvador, 2005 and Throwing in Alaska and the Iditarod® Trail Sled Dog Race Just for Fun
    Flying the An-2 in Guatemala and El Salvador, 2005 and throwing in Alaska and The Iditarod® Trail Sled Dog Race just for fun by Matthew A. Nelson Guatemala, El Salvador, & Iditarod Matthew A. Nelson Flying the An-2 in Guatemala and El Salvador, 2005 and throwing in Alaska and The Iditarod® Trail Sled Dog Race just for fun by Matthew A. Nelson PRELUDE From: Catherine Chandler Hamilton (September, 2003) Subject: Antonov friendship circle Dear Matt, What a nice surprise to receive your mail with fond reminders of the Antonov visit to Fairbanks. Now, 3 weeks after the fact, our little airpark here still seems forlorn with the collective absence of that grand airplane and its wonderful cast and crew. It is pretty tough to top an act like that. It is really neat that you are writing about this adventure - one chapter of many in the life of N87AN but one of a very few, I'm quite sure, that ever makes it to paper. Perhaps they should take you along on all of their trips as their historian.... Those of you that recognize the preceding e-mail from Catherine Chandler Hamilton will probably remember that I used these words in the final pages of my story, “Flying The Antonov An-2 In Alaska, 2003”. As much as I would like to be the historian for this airplane, at this time I can only add one more chapter in the life of N87AN, but hopefully, will add many more in the future. About a year-and-a-half had passed since I had last seen Neal Oppen, Douglas Fulton, and his wife Jeanne Passin after our little adventure of flying the An-2 around in Alaska.
