I just read about this "race" on another website. I am posting a link to www.paws.org to give some background and action alerts for anyone who wishes to find out more/add their name to those who want this event stopped, etc.

I am outraged by such blatant cruelty and I hope that those of you who read this and agree will write letters to help put an end to this disgusting event. I especially hope that some residents of Washington state write their representatives and governor and ask them why this is allowed to go on.
I am sure this has been posted before, it's so awful that I'd be very surprised if it hadn't, but I did a search and came up with nothing. Forgive me if this is something like the 30th diary on this subject.
Thanks for your time!
