Reply to comment by KmartQuality in Alaska's arduous Iditarod kicks off with ceremonial start by besselfunctions

PETA is an animal abuse cult, as is every entity affiliated in any way with Iditarod. Two sides of the same coin.

Exxon is not an animal abuse cult, nor has it ever been.

Sled dogs live to run sleds. There's no inherent abuse.

Your comment confuses me.

Well, Exxon technically is sort of an animal abuse cult... look at photos from the Exxon Valdez spill, or any of their other numerous acts of environmental terrorism.

However, I never made that claim in my comment. I said that PETA was an animal abuse cult, which it is - evidence is plentiful.

As for sled dogs living to run sleds, I don't see how it's considered kind for a human to determine the sole purpose of another animal's life.
