Leave your thoughts about Sled Dogs.
| Counterpunch.orgLouis ProyectA powerful documentary that reveals how much Iditarod and Michael Vick have in common. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThis gripping exposé of the dark side of the commercial dog sledding industry, particularly as it pertains to Alaska’s annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, is a horrifying heartbreaker. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Marsha LedermanHowever you feel about commercial dog sledding, Fern Levitt’s Sled Dogs is bound to rankle – either because of the material itself or the filmmaker’s take. |
| Globe and MailJohn DoyleYou can make up your own mind about whether what's shown is terrible cruelty or simply pragmatism. What's certain is you will never feel quite as cozy and romantic about travelling by dog sled ever again. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlLevitt’s film assembles a devastating case against the practices of dog racers and trainers, who often conceive of their animals as tools to be discarded (read: shot) when no longer useful. |
| The New York TimesHelen T. VerongosIt’s easy to fall in love with the animals in Sled Dogs. It’s thornier to sift through the words of the handlers and mushers — many of whom seem to genuinely care for the dogs — and determine how pervasive abuse is in dog-sledding ventures. |
| User ReviewVikki LThis film shows the reality of the cruel dog sled industry. I could never support such an industry. I don't believe in animal abuse for profit. It is wrong. The film is very eye opening. |
| User ReviewRhea AI had no idea about the cruel underbelly of the dog sled industry until I watched this film. Informative, shocking, heart-wrenching and maddening. Watch this film and please DO NOT support the dog sled industry. It simply needs to be shut down. |
| User ReviewJean CGruesome view of the dog sledding industry and heartbreaking. Thanks to advocates whose mission is to reveal the inhumane treatment and hopefully change the industry. |
