Tell Pedigree to end sponsorship of Dog Sled race

The Issue

Pedigree sponsors an Iditarod styled dog sled competition in Wyoming. 
I am wondering how a company who on one hand, champions pet adoptions ( One True Loyalty and The Pedigree Foundation shelter grants), yet on the other hand, sponsors a cruel, outdoor trek of more then 300 miles in subzero temperatures.¹
Especially in a state like Wyoming. And, more horrifically, Sublette county, where community pillars think so little of dogs, that it's legal to shoot them, but makes no legal provisions about their humane treatment.²

Please end support for a competition that necessarily causes suffering before, during and after the competition.
