We have a day off and are trekking for the Kangerlua Glacier. Walking through town we pass through a long rocky valley that is essentially a large dog kennel during the summer months. It is unsettling and disturbing. Here the "working" dogs are kept until the winter. It is a very eerie sound when a thousand dos start howling at the same time. When they howl you can feel their pain. I have learned that hundreds of animal protection organizations in more than 58 countries have started campaigns to help the sled dogs of Greenland which are being neglected and abused. I took the time to sign several online petitions and made a donation to the effort. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/GreenlandSledDogs/
