Re: Exploitation
Date: Thursday, 13 Sep 2007
Unknown numbers of dogs have been bred/produced, "used" and "abused" and killed in the name of "mushing" and "service."
Therefore, I hope Mayor and Council of Whitehorse will see the proposed sculpture of 'dogs pulling a sled' for what it truly is--the exploitation of dogs.
Exploitation of dogs is not something to be proud of, nor is it an appropriate tourist attraction.
If a monument of sort must be displayed, a memorial for the unknown dogs would be more appropriate and respectful.
Praise the Dogs
