I think you could be on to something here.

I totally encourage you to fuck, eat and sleep. Even do two at the same time. I'm just saying that the "dogs love it" justification doesn't hold water as a basis for dog-sledding for me because dogs are the kind of animals which do things they're bred and trained to do, even if those things aren't good for them. So are humans, but I think the level of intelligence and self-sufficiency of adult humans compared to adult dogs make the difference.
In the grand scheme of things, I consider dog-sledding to be more morally defensible than, say, cockfighting, dogfighting or doing TF in the ass, but it still strikes me (as the other activities do) as something that people are doing to the detriment of the animals or fans involved.
mmm
