As one who has taken my jack russells to festivals, they stay on leads at all times are excersised away from the festival grounds, i clean up after them, its not hard or difficult to do. as for not being bothered to kennel them, on the two occassions i have done so, both dogs ended up with kennel cough one nearly dying through complications to the kennel cough, and simply the cost, i could go to america for a good holiday in the sun for the money spent on a, getting to festival. b, costs at the festival, c, camoing costs, d, cost of kenneling, There will always be arguments about dogs, i work my dogs as my job is pest control, so should i stop going to festivals because of all this hoo ha,
