But in Anchorage there are two main dog races. The long distance Iditarod and the world sprint championships. The sprints take place during the winter carnival known as fur rondevous or simply fur rondy. Among many many many events are these races where dogs rip through town at very high speeds, (well in the 20mph range.) on blocked off roads with snow trucked in to provide some parts of the race course. Well it stemmed from two seperate instances but came from a raise in tensions created by the PETA folks. They made a big deal about how 50 of them were coming to AK from the east coast to protest all this shit. Then during the fur auction they threw some red liquid on some furs, I know at least one of them was a white polar bear pelt, of course staining it permanently. This resulted in them nearly getting the shit kicked out of them, but also at least one arrest. Then they went on and attempted to block the race route. Which resulted in a female peta gal getting tackled quite hard by while standing in the way.
Then they continued to stay in the state to protest and attempt to block the Iditarod route. Well as a little payback, somebody gave them the drive by dumping.
Again, I dont say its right, but damn its funny. A bucket full of dog piss at getting splashed when its 10 degrees outside make for a quick freeze.

I would think that gathering the piss would be kind of strange much less dumping it on someone.
Many of these groups are rampant with far left advocates. I hate to stereotype them but this is what you find in many of these advocacy groups.
I know this is off topic but I have run across these protester types. PBS was on post filming war stories from some of the guys who had been in Iraq and Afghanistan. They had long greasy hair and they seemed to look like they had been sleeping in their clothes because of all of the wrinkles and lint that was in it.
They seemed to be fairly sociable but I got the feeling that they were just using us to make some perverted story about the military. I told the guys to be careful what they told them because they were just looking for dirt. What was really shocking was that a government sponsored station would be populated by leftists. You would think that they would be more conservative or more professional at least in their appearance.
