Two dogs have tragically died during Alaska's annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, marking the first fatalities in five years. The deaths have sparked calls from PETA to end the competition, with the cause of the deaths yet to be determined. In contrast, Dallas Seavey secured his sixth Iditarod championship, setting a new record for the most wins in the world-renowned sled dog race.
The deaths of three dogs during the Iditarod — and five more during training — have raised questions about the ethics of asking animals to pull a heavy sled for hundreds of miles in subzero temperatures. https://t.co/vzBSZ9LXs8
