Elyse Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Seriously, though, people like that make me sick. It's gotten to the point that I try to avoid news stories like this, because I KNOW I'm going to end up angry/depressed/wanting to kill them...and I'm afraid it might make me callous! Which isn't good, considering I'm going into the wildlife field! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aronoiiel Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hmm from what I understand (which isn't much lol) from the comments on the vid he has been suspended and is under investigation? Not sure why anyone there didn't stop him I mean was this just a run or were there officials of some kind there that should've stepped in? Either way those dogs are exhausted and down right tolerant at that. If it were me I would gave him what for man handling me like he did those poor dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marakai Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 The body language those dogs were giving him was terrible, they were obviously scared of him, cowering. They were exhausted and had enough! Some people take animals for granted and only care about the ribbon or 'name' at the end, people need to think of the animals way before themselves. He needs to be banned and have his dogs taken away from him, he obviously doesn't care for their health, or them for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amey Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I have no clue what so ever to what there saying. But there is no reason in the world to treat those dogs like that. If I were one of those dogs I would have mauled him. Poor babies.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Povodny Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 It seems like its part of an organised event so where is the veterinary support and why was this treatment not reported immediately by what looks like the marshal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taiya Blue and Miko too Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 this is the link to the official website where you see all email addresses to email should you wish (hope this is okay Marc / Sarah / Dunc) http://www.fistc.com/content/board.htm The musher has been suspended but there is complete uproar on how his dogs were treated so hopefully further action will be taken for the welfare of the dogs. These are the two replies i've had so far: Hello It does not look allright, and the musher should have acted otherwise - yes, but the Race jury with our director for Animal Wellfare, ane the Racemarshal plus the responsible for the race acted on Site -- not on the video and with Mr. Ferrari present. The public is now acting very emotionally on the video with no respect for the musher. He is now being "hanged" in public with no chance to defend himself! I am the secretary of the FISTC Board and was not present and am because of this only able to be in contact with those boardmembers who were there. I am confident that we will inform fully on our Website: www.fistc.com very soon. Kind regards and from the vet Dear ..... I left the FISTC board last december, so I was not there. I saw the video and I completely agree with you, I have fate in the FISTC board that thry will take appropiate meadures against this musher.
