Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

I heard about one in Canada a couple of weeks ago where about 100 dogs were seized in deplorable condition. Sitting here listening to the news, I heard this story...

Associated Press

HARTSEL, Colo. — About 100 starving sled dogs have been seized from a racing business in Colorado.

Colorado's state veterinarian says an anonymous tip led authorities to Pawsatrack Racing Sled Dogs in the Park County town of Hartsel, about 70 miles southwest of Denver. The company's phone number isn't listed.

Authorities say they found six dead husky-type dogs and seized 30 starving dogs immediately. On Thursday, animal protection authorities took the remaining 70 dogs.

Dr. Keith Roehr, the state vet, says the dogs were malnourished and that one has since died. He says the dogs were all crossbreeds of Alaskan descent used in sled racing.

Roehr called conditions at the open-air kennel "deplorable."

Park County sheriff's officials were investigating the dogs' owners, Sam and Diane Walker, for possible animal neglect charges. As of Thursday afternoon no one had been charged.

Park County Undersheriff Monte Gore said the Walkers are cooperating with investigators but will likely face criminal charges in coming days.

The surviving dogs have been sent to animal shelters in at least nine different Colorado counties and will be available for adoption after their health improves, Gore said.

Disgusting people.
