Keep up the good fight on behalf of sled dogs, Terry. When you're a pioneer in any movement there is always resistance, and challenging the mindset of a close-minded community is daunting, to say the least. One would think that something as simple as compassion to all sentient beings would be a relatively easy concept to grasp, but evidently not. Change will come, though, one person at a time. You're already part way there: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
