That’s right: PETA decided to head to the deserts of Las Vegas to protest an Alaskan dog sled race during Netflix’s first ever live broadcasted sports event. The target of the protestors derision was the Iditarod dog-sled race held every year in Alaska. PETA says that Liberty Media – the company that owns Formula One – has tied to the dogsled race and has been sponsoring it for a number of years. ‘Dogs used in the Iditarod are made to run the approximately 1,000-mile race while pulling heavy sleds through biting winds, blinding snowstorms, and subzero temperatures in some of the most grueling conditions on Earth. The Iditarod is a dog race run in Alaska that covers nearly 1,000 miles depending on the route.
