we cross posted, Les....

I, personally, have now come across one incident of injury from dog bite at a festival, in over 15 years of festival going. In same period, I have known of one person who nearly died from tripping over a tent peg and damaging his femoral artery. I'm not calling for a blanket ban on tent pegs and, to my knowledge, neither is he.

yes I'm sure there have been plenty of other dog related incidents that I *don't* know about, but probably plenty of other non-dog related incidents too.

I'm not comfortable with knee jerk reactions even to tragedies.
