In just one week of the 2017 race—when temperatures hit 30 degrees below or colder for days at a time—five dogs died.
One got away from his handler and was hit by a car, another died of hyperthermia on a plane, and three others died on the trail, one likely from choking on his own vomit.
More than 150 dogs have been killed in the race’s history—not counting those who died during the year while kept on chains or who were killed because they lacked the rare speed and stamina necessary to make the cut.
Please join PETA in urging Alaska Airlines to end its sponsorship of this abusive race in which dogs are run to their deaths.
