This is what is happening to huskies in Finland right now: suffering out of sight as ‘winter wonderland’ tourist experiences explode in popularity. They need your help.
Behind the postcard-perfect snow and smiling tourists enjoying magical sled rides lies a hidden world of cruelty. A world where huskies are pushed to breaking point, beaten when they can’t keep up, then chained, crammed into tiny cages and neglected when tourists aren’t around.
And when they can no longer run? Shot, killed and replaced – because it’s cheaper that way.
Thousands of dogs are trapped in this nightmare across northern Finland.
That is why this is so urgent.
Together with our partner, SEY Animal Welfare Finland, we have uncovered these shocking conditions – suffering most tourists will never see and that many find hard to believe.
Exposure is not enough.
We have revealed the truth. This is happening as you read this. But without urgent action from us, from you, the cruelty will continue unchecked.
The authorities already know this is happening. But enforcement is failing, there aren’t enough veterinarians, operators are hiding their worst abused dogs and there are almost no shelters for rescued dogs to go.
That is why rescue alone will never fix this. The system must change and the entire industry must be held accountable – this is exactly what we’re fighting for.
You have the power to help us stop this. Please don’t wait – donate now.
