Kind to Animals

Liberty Media's subsidiary GCI sponsors the Iditarod dog sled race with over $250,000 annually.

This race has resulted in the deaths of more than 150 dogs, with at least three dogs dying during one race and five during training. Over 200 dogs were too ill, exhausted, or injured to finish the race. Dogs are forced to run approximately 1,000 miles, often through extreme conditions, leading to injuries, illnesses like bleeding stomach ulcers and aspiration pneumonia, and exhaustion. The Iditarod Trail Committee has fined mushers for protecting dogs during storms, and mushers have been accused and convicted of animal neglect and abuse.
