My point is there's a difference between how the true working sled dogs are kept.....



...with little or no human interaction.

And how recreational sled dogs are housed. They tend to be more like a breeders set up. With indoor and outdoor kenneling.

The owners and employees will bring one or two dogs at a time into their homes. And will rotate the animals so they are very compatible with humans.

Beyond that my overriding point was, didn't these dogs at least deserve a chance to live out their lives.
