ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - An animal rights group wants Alaska State Troopers to open a criminal investigation into the deaths
this year of five Iditarod dogs, including two on the team of a musher who says they froze to death.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to trooper Col. Audie Halloway. In it, PETA urges him to determine if
any of the four mushers whose dogs died in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race should be charged under the state's cruelty to animals
law.

PETA director Debbie Leahy said in a prepared statement that the five dogs paid for the race with their lives, and "deserve
justice."

Holloway wasn't immediately available for comment.

However, a spokeswoman for the troopers notes that the state law which PETA cites in asking for the investigation does not generally
apply to accepted dog mushing contests.

again you fail to say yes or no. you are hopeless rose and have no credibility, for you refuse to back up your debate. no need to waste time with you anymore.

alpha dog does not mean vicous, like i said none of mine were food agressive and got along just fine.  is worm hugging a learned behavior?

is rose a tree huggin know it all with a lose grip on reality?

is alfa dog a learned trait? is food aggression a learned tait? is a sled dog a noble working dog?

oh no, a worm hugger and a bullet hugger teaming up.

does that mean you are a worm hugger?

you can be born with a trait of liking the taste of fish, but being a good fisherman is as learned skill.

lol no just fishing for tree huggers, didn’t take long

ickthus, now your true colors are showing. you miss that cockfighting dont you?

ppl with that kind of mind set pose a greater danger than all the cock and dog fighters put together. two wrongs don’t make it right, just wrong, as you are about this post
