Well, Exxon technically is sort of an animal abuse cult... look at photos from the Exxon Valdez spill, or any of their other numerous acts of environmental terrorism.

However, I never made that claim in my comment. I said that PETA was an animal abuse cult, which it is - evidence is plentiful.

As for sled dogs living to run sleds, I don't see how it's considered kind for a human to determine the sole purpose of another animal's life.
