'Sled dogs as polar bear bait': Posting on 'Dogster' forum regarding Brian Ladoon's dog yard Someone hold my hair back while I vomit after reading Caleb’s fraudulent accounts of how these dogs are cared for and protected from the bears…the bears have mauled and killed over a dozen of these captive dogs on more than one occasion. Just recently a man from Churchill had to be called out to shoot one of Brian Ladoon’s dogs who had been disembowled by a bear and was alive with its intestines hanging out…all in front of TOURISTS!! BRAVO CHURCHILL, TRAVEL AGENCIES and those thriving to maintain Northern dignity! I HAVE SEEN the dogs first hand…neglected, chained in fields, chained in front of stores for days on end…I am outraged that any one who calls themself an animal lover would even try to justify, minimize and rationalize the inhumane conditions these dogs endure all for the sake of Mr. Ladoon’s “legacy” as some noble and reputable sled dog breeder. What Ladoon operates is a GIGANTIC PUPPY MILL/ DRIVE THRU POLAR BEAR RESTAURANT where he serves up "Eskimo Dog on a leash." Did you know he charges tourists money to see the bears that conveniently “play” with his dogs…isn’t that called baiting the bears? Who hasn’t seen a cat play with a bird or a mouse before devouring its “toy”? Please give your head a shake if you still think there is some kind of value in exposing these dogs to conditions you wouldn’t live in. They need protection, food, HUMAN ATTENTION, and a chance to enjoy the companionship and comfort of loving homes. If Mr. Ladoon has over 150 dogs that he can’t care for and is crumbing around for donations than maybe he has animal hoarding issues and should consider scaling down his operation to a size that is realistic and managable. If he is such a dedicated pet owner he should follow best practices of pet breeding! “Eskimo Dogs as Polar Bear Bait” is what the headings for those pictures should read.
