PETA is a non-profit organisati♒on voicing their views against the 🔥cruel treatment of animals.

They are strongly against the Iditarod dog race whiꦺch takes place in Alaska that runs nearly 1♎000 miles.

It’s an annual dog race that sees them compete in sub-zero temperatures, explain꧒ing why PETA is against them.

Ac✅cording to PETA, over 150 dogs dieꦫd due to the event, although the time-span wasn’t disclosed.

GCI sponsors the famous dog race - the company is linked to F1’s owners, Liberty Media.

Earlier this yea༒r, PETA sent a letter and a ‘dead dog’ to F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali to push for Liberty Media to cut ties.

PETA have continued their prote♓st by interrupting Hamilto𒐪n’s interview at the Forbes Summit.

The seven-ti🥂me world champion is a dog lover himsel🌟f, often pictured alongside his beloved Roscoe. 

Hamilton’s worldwide presence, combined with his stance on topical issues, is w𒉰hy PETA targeted𝐆 him.

The incident can be seen on the video below:

PETA su༺pporters joined Lewis Hamilton's panel at the Forbes Ic🔜onoclast Summit & urged him to denounce F1's association with Iditarod, a dog-sled race in which over 150 dogs have died. Hamilton, a vegan athlete & dedicated dog dad, responded positively to their heartfelt appeal.

“Formula 1 athletes choose to compete, but no dog chooses to run four marathons a day for up to two weeks through snow, ice, and harsh winds, the ‘reward’ for many being de🃏ath,” PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said. “Lewis Hamilton can be a powerful advocate for these dogs, who desperately need his voice, and PETA is urging him to demand an end to GCI’s harmful sponsorship.”
