It’s not just California anymore;
More than a dozen people affiliated with an animal rights group have been arrested in a protest against sled dog kennels, months after the same organization’s occupation of a turkey barn prompted the Alberta government to promise a crackdown on rural trespassers.
RCMP say they were called to the Mad Dogs and Englishmen kennels east of Canmore, Alta., on Saturday morning when approximately 30 protesters allegedly broke into the kennels to protest the treatment of the dogs.
Police say 15 people, including one young person, were arrested and face charges of break and enter to commit mischief.

I love dogs – Toni will tell you I don’t need a wife by my side, I just need a Weimaraner – and every year, my favorite column to write is a canine diary from the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race or the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
However, I will never pen either of those columns again and apologize to readers – particularly Iditarod-wise – for my poor judgment. …
The thing is, I get along with dogs better than with people; they are more dependable and less deceitful.
THAT! says it all (from your linked article). These inhumans need to be culled from humanity. They’re nothing but bitter LOSERS who have “turned” on mankind. Self-hating humans. Ohhhhh, sorry … I must have forgotten these noble animal protectors are … never deceitful or undependable … themselves … they’re perfect humans and perfect “companions” to their animals … animals that lack the ability to tell them what annoying schmucks they are.
How completely ignorant and out of touch these CANCEL-culture Terrorists really are. Sled Dogs … LOVE … to pull sleds. They’re WORKING DOGS !!! It’s in their DNA. They are MISERABLE when they aren’t hitched-up and running. For Fkcu’s sake !! What Hallmark Channel, LMN Channel UNreality are these girls living in? Get a fkcuing LIFE!@! Get a fkcuing CLUE!! Stop being ignorant sluts … to paraphrase SNL when it used to be funny.
I am well acquainted with a gentleman (a hardcore leftist by the way) who had his own team of sled dogs in Shishmaref AK. He LOVED those dogs, and they LOVED him. But most of all … they LOVED to pull sled.
I sincerely hope these twits all go “rescue” some violent pitbull mixed-up mutt … and get their throats torn out.
Yeah, not very Christian of me. I’m just fed up. And thinking of becoming an onward Christian soldier of fortune out hunting Terrorists of all stripe.
I would just like to take all these Animal Rights idiots and strand them in the wilderness for month Those Sled Dogs were made for this all these Nit-Wits are just a whole bunch of busybodies sticking their noses in
Arrested? They will probably be let go with a slap on the hand.
Canada does not have a justice system.
The Yukon Quest is the tougher of the 1000 mile races. Iditarod is the lesser of the two.
One of these days the animal rights soy boys are gonna take on a musher who is going to introduce them to Canadian hardwood – first hand.
I prefer aluminium bats, they do the job just great, and I have one in the box of my 4X4
I keep a piece of hardwood under the seat of both my pickups. Only had to pull it out once. The scrot who was going to tune me up decided he had other things to do when I stepped out ready to go.
Aluminum has the advantage of not snapping if you really swing for the fence….
ya know…NME, that is one hell of a good idea.!
I’ve always had a tire iron beside the seat…but as Im getting on, an Aluminium (British), Bat say a 28-30 should do the trick.?? Much Much lighter….yes.?
As for these utter imbeciles…please drop them off about 150 km NW of Edson/Hinton in Mid January. Be considerate & give ea pair of them half a parachute, 50m of parachute Cord, a good knife, a hatchet perhaps, a cpl pkgs of matches ..& meh.? maybe even a cpl of MREs….. Lets see what they can do eh..?? My bet is that 100% die of exposure – Bush Fever within 3 days. GARANTEED.
Theres nothing like Cdn Forces Winter Bush Survival training…Nothing. Don’t ask me how I happen to know that….
OMG! Gentlemen! One of my absolute favorite Clint Eastwood lines … ever …

There’s nothing like a fine piece of hickory
Maybe they are jealous. The dogs have jobs and earn their keep and the protesters have government and don’t.
B.I.N.G.O. … and Bingo was his name-o!
the, the tear inducing loyalty I get from my dogs.
Truman, well he’s part mastiff and rather intimidating.
Q: whydjagetsuchabigintimidatingdoghb?
A: ya just answered yer own question.
HE is gate keeper, bodyguard, warm fuzzy cuddle, and wrestling partner.
you know that tug-of-war trick, ya let go of the rope?

landed real hard right on my arse, sore for a week, laughed and laughed.

I have not one moment, not a titch of concern going to the ATM with a wad of cash with him on the leash.
I spent almost $4,000 getting him treated successfully for parvo because the shytheads I took him from LIED about his vaccination status. I would spend 3 goddamn times that if I had to and could.
I said a prayer once, ‘Dear Loving Lord, please tell my doggie in a way he understands how much I love him.’
next day he had this sheepish expression on his big beautiful mug, kinda quiet that day. I kid you not.
loyalty. loyalty is the key. I have felt THAT level of loyalty from a 2 legged friend only ONCE in my 68 years.
i grieves me to see and hear stories of critters suffering. they dont understand, they just want to be loved and taken care of.
and the chance to *return* that love infinitely.
they have that *mammalian* brain, fully and glaringly obvious SHARE and show and EXPERIENCE
the full spectrum, at levels we do not.
if there’s no place for God’s creatures in His domain, well . . . . . . let me think about that.
oh, and the ‘christian soldier of fortune’ thing?
I fully intend to go that path when the time comes. looking forward to it.
I seriously loved reading your tribute to your beast friend. The problem with the two-legged species is that our brains allow much more complex calculations than simply giving and receiving love. Yep, had my share of “calculating” humans. Thankfully, I found a woman who is as loyal as any “pet” I’ve ever loved. But I had to trade-in one of the other variety first. I believe she is what’s referred to as “low maintenance”. Kinda like our current “rescue” cat … Feed her, give her a warm place to sit, a peaceful household, pet her everyday … and she’ll snuggle up every once in a while. She doesn’t “calculate” how to complicate our lives. And since one of my most fundamental, compulsive, characteristics is loyalty to those who deserve it … we are a good pair.
Pets are great. ‘Good’ people, even greater.
File civil suits. I will donate to help with legal costs.
Sled attack dogs would sure slow those freaks down.
