So....let me get this straight.
1-We have mushers that are saying it is a more humane way to haul tired and/or injured dogs by using a trailer. (leaves me to believe these mushers have compassion for their dogs.)
2-We have a committee/board/ group of people saying "No" to the trailer. 
3-We have a whole host of people whining about "in-humane" ways mushers treat their dogs. People by the way that also would probably take PolarBear and place him with Gorilla because "it's too cold for them poor little bears to live in perpetual winter".
4-We have the same people saying "No" to the trailer that are saying "Yes" to cell phones/Sat-phones so mushers can have ready access to ?? Internet? For?? Entertainment? 
Forgive me for being dim witted but am I to assume that the decision makers(2&4)regarding Iditarod rules are the same people(3)who are whining about all the in-humanity with which we treat our dogs?
Again, forgive me for being dim witted but it appears we have some saboteurs
