Dog Mushing - Yes or No?

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race takes place every year in early March. It is a long-distance sled dog race that starts in Anchorage, Alaska and finishes in Nome, Alaska. The race is a very important sporting event to the Alaskan natives. On the other hand, animal rights groups believe that the Iditarod Race is dog abuse and harms the dogs’ welfare. Students are asked if they are for or against dog mushing and write their opinion on the issue. This worksheet was created by Lauren Savage @ Primary Leap
