Thanks to your emails, Panasonic has ended its Iditarod involvement. Mr. Greenberg, VP Brand Marketing, wrote, "after reviewing the relationship and learning more about the treatment of the animals in this race from people like you, we have concluded that this activity does not meet our standards for Panasonic support. Accordingly, Panasonic does not plan to renew the relationship, sponsor or further associate our brand with the race. In addition, we plan to remove references to the Iditarod Trail Race from our website shortly."
