Dear Carmina - I humbly accept your kind words which mean a lot to me. I also love the great people at AAS and those who support this wonderful society, which is ever vigilant to speak up for animals.

The person whose name I will no longer use has done more harm (in the matter of a few days) to the Yukon Quest and the image of Yukon dog mushing than our little organization with a few posters has ever done. He has apparently appointed himself as unofficial spokesman for the Quest because the cowardly organization does not respond to public criticism and allegations of cruelty the organization inflicts on animals.

We would very much appreciate if you would forward your message to the editor of the Yukon News at rmostyn@yukon-news.com

Also I urge people interested in this cause to visit Mary Martin's 'Animal Person' blog at
http://www.animalperson.net for other messages which were not posted here. AAS and Mary Martin are my two favourite AR sites.
