Phillips says trailer misportrays business
Danny and Gina Phillips, the owners of the Krabloonik dog-sled and restaurant operation in Snowmass Village, are joining a chorus of other mushers in criticizing a new documentary.
Danny Phillips, one of at least four locals in “Sled Dogs,” is shown briefly in the trailer for the film, saying that he wouldn’t be in the business if it wasn’t humane.
He and his wife bought the business from the late Dan MacEachen in 2014 after he was charged with eight counts of animal cruelty, sparking outrage. MacEachen, who owned the business for 40 years, pleaded guilty last year to one of the charges. He died earlier this year.
