Making dogs run in 27 below chill factor is animal abuse at it's worst .  It's pretty pathetic hundreds of dogs are being forced to run in these conditions just so they're owners have a shot at winning price money and a new Dodge pickup .  PETA should fly to Anchorage to protest / shut down the start of this race.  How many dogs will die this year ? Long distance dog racing should be ended , just as dog fighting was ended . Both are animal abuse at it's worst.
