Calls for End to Iditarod Intensify After Two Dogs Die

The recent deaths of three dogs during the Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska have reignited calls to end the race, raising ethical concerns about the treatment of animals in the endurance event. While the race has deep roots in Alaska's tradition and history, animal rights groups like PETA are urging for its discontinuation, citing over 100 dog deaths in the race's 51-year history. Iditarod officials have not provided a specific number of dog fatalities and are awaiting full necropsy reports to determine the causes of the recent deaths. Despite the controversy, supporters argue that the race should continue as a celebration of Alaska's sled dog culture and heritage.
