(Neville Peat, p7, 1978. In Snow Dogs. The Huskies of Antarctica) This 'sad' day was to become true and the huskies Of Antarctica were finally removed in 1994. Emotions ran high as heartfelt pleas were made for the retention of the dogs. For the most part the pleas were not heard and anger replaced many of the pleas. The huskies in Antarctica brought with them a romance and sense Of adventure that machinery could never challenge and yet it seemed almost inevitable that technology would eventually take over. The arguments for retaining the dogs for recreational and morale purposes were strong enough to hold until a new protocol engineered their eviction in 1994.
