"Iditarod Musher Penalized for Inadequate Moose Gutting in Self-Defense"

Iditarod musher Dallas Seavey was penalized with a two-hour time penalty for not properly gutting a moose he killed to protect his dog team during the race, with the moose becoming tangled with the team and injuring one dog. Seavey encountered the moose shortly after leaving a checkpoint, used a handgun to shoot and kill it, but did not sufficiently gut the animal as required by race rules. The penalty will be added to his mandatory 24-hour layover, but Seavey has since continued to lead the race, reaching the halfway point and winning an award. This incident is not the first time a musher has had to kill a moose during the Iditarod race.
