I am 8n utter disbelief officials want to drop the musher from event. Hey you are giving us anti Iditarod people more ammunition against this horrible race. The fact the musher was penalized protect the well being of the dogs. And I'm guessing pressure not just from mushers resulted in an overturn. Unbelievable!
The way these dogs are treated is despicable
F#CK the Appeal Board ……. All those A$$holes care about is bloody PROFITS……..Animal Abusing Fucktards !!!!!!
