dogs die every day from human error. dogs die playing other less controversial sports. should dogs stop running agility because they could fall off a dogwalk or an a-frame and break their necks? should we stop throwing tennis balls because dogs have choked to death on them? should i stop driving my dogs to obedience class because i could make a mistake driving and wreck the car and kill us all?

i don't have a problem with the iditarod or the other long distance sled dog races. in order to even consider running that race, you have to put a huge amount of time, work, money, and heart into it. and yeah, stuff happens. dogs die. people have died. it's a shame, but it's part of living.
