Animal Abusers Bayer will provide free pharmaceuticals to vets for use on the dogs during the race. Bayer originally said it would stop donating medications and then reversed itself after receiving threats by Iditarod supporters. Bayer has chosen to ignore the fact that the Iditarod dogs are beaten into submission, that unwanted puppies are shot in the head, and that dogs are skinned for fur. When Bayer donates pharmaceuticals, the ITC takes the money it would have spent on them and puts it in the prize pot. The larger the pot the more incentive mushers have to force their dogs to run in this abusive event.
