Dogsled Racing

Susan Butcher, but she is a she.

The word "Haw" is used to turn a team of horses to the left. "Gee" is the word used to turn them to the right.

Diptheria spread through the town.

There was a diptheria epidemic. In 1925 Bolto the half wolf and half dog was a outcast until he ran 600 miles and brought back medicine to the sick people. He was a genuine hero, so he became a sled dog.

Two dogs can pull a dog sled, but typical teams can be between 4 and 20 dogs depending how long they are pulling it for and the weight they are carrying.

The weather can be really bad at some times so it makes it hard to race. one of the dogs could get pragnent and not be able to race

in the Jr. Iditarod Race there is a trophy so i guess there is one.

sledding is dangerous because it could kill someone.

Neither are domesticated and therefore will not act as sled dogs.

balto is a famous lead dog in 1925, when there was a desiese spreading in Nome alaska. the sleds would pass the medicene down to each team to bring back the medicene. Togo was also a lead dog, his team passed the medicene to balto's team and balto's team reached nome with medicene. (not the movie, this is the real story)

with blood and rage of crimson red we fill men's souls with darkest dread we twist young minds with pain and hate we'll burn you all that is your fate!

Mash up some stuff together. MAGIC. You now have mush. :p

madona and Orlando bloom oh don't forget the pope!

As many as they want. But usually only 8 of them will be working and the rest can do whatever.

It can be a very uncomfortable feeling when your ears will not pop. The pressure might be relieved by chewing gum, opening and closing the mouth in an exaggerated manner or by putting heat next to the ears for a few minutes.

No it is not. This is considered animal abuse.

it is from anchorage, Alaska to Nome, Alaska

ice can break on the dogs

yes and no, no because its hard to take care of all the sled dogs. yes because its better for the environment.

They run odd years for southern and even years for northern.

it isn't. every check point the dogs are fed a warm meal and checked out by vets.

it could be... i heard that they kill the dogs if they do not meet or exceed standards. I also read theese facts on the web:

Many of the dogs in the Iditarod suffer from stress, pneumonia, gastric

ulcers, or "Sudden Death Syndrome"--literally running to death. About one

third of the animals must be flown out when they become ill, injured, or

exhausted.

Many of the dogs collapse at the finish line and often cannot rise to a

standing position to eat for days. Jon Saraceno, sports columnist for USA

Today, called the race "Ihurtadog" and "an outrage."

The Iditarod is condemned by animal protection groups across the United

States, led by the Humane Society, because dog deaths and injuries are

common in the race.

Thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia have anti-cruelty laws that

would make the Iditarod illegal because of overworking an animal.

The Iditarod Trail Committee wants people to think of the Iditarod as a

commemoration of the 1925 Anchorage to Nome diphtheria serum run.

However, they don't point out that half of the 1925 serum run was done by

train. Dogs ran in relays for the remaining 500 or 600 miles, with few dogs

running more than 100 miles.

The race has led to the proliferation of husky dog kennels in Alaska, many of

which are substandard. None are inspected by the State of Alaska or any

other agency. Because of this, cruelty to animals is ubiquitous in many

husky dog kennels.

ABC and other major American media are in serious danger of being

accused of being complicit, because it all starts with the immense,

much-hyped Iditarod race.
