Mike B:

Jeff was responding to my statement about the 'abomination' I believe.  I didn't notice that you had a response to that.

You know what the real problem is, we can discuss about it and discuss about and discuss about. Till we have enough and in the end nothing is happend as allways.
Why I don't know. Maybe the "big"people protect each other or put it in a cover-up and say it wasn't so bad. Till these people start on a trail when they will start on a trail and it happen to them, then the hole world must know it.
I hope something is done from the FMBB board, but i not exspecting too much as ever.
Your sincerely

I watched the videos with horror. I am only surprised that none of the dogs suffered fatal neck or spinal injuries.

Of course the IPO should be held accountable for allowing the competition to continue with such an obviously ill-trained decoy. However, the competitors also share responsibility since they saw what was happening and decided to compete anyway. They could have withdrawn. By continuing, they sanctioned what was clearly a very dangerous endeavour - and their dogs paid the price.

In any sport there is an element of risk, but what the videos show goes well beyond forseeable and acceptable risk.
