E para desmistificar as ultimas noticias que falam de facas, sexo e rock and roll:
1. There was bitterness on Saturday because the judge selected an "impossible" selection. That dog couldn't win. People were verbally hostile but I didn't see any "punches". The guy had to be escorted by the police, yes. A shame.
2. The gas episode had nothing to do with the BOB choice, since it happened when the open class was being judged, and as such, there had been not BOB choice. Champions class was still missing, and of course, without it, you can't judge BOB.
3. I saw no knives
4. The history of the police shutting the doors appeared on the local media, and it is completely false. I was standing 10 yards from the gas canister when it blew, and not even a second had passed when the police had opened HUGE gates (barn-type) and driving all of us through them I was with my 4 year old Sophie and she didn't even had to cough. Not many people were taken to hospital; just 7, and were released instantly. If you bear in mind the canister was released in a huge closed center with about 1000 people inside, you will realize the accusation of keeping the doors closed is ridiculous. Had they done that, you would have had 700 people in Hospital, not 7. The police did a great job, and I was there to see it.
5. Yes, they were rumours about the chances of something like this happening. No, to my knowledge local breeders didn't pay USD 20 to get their dogs in. They paid USD 90.
The whole thing was a shame but IMO was magnified by the hysteria of some people who panicked beyond what was reasonably. And the press also magnified things, coincidentally with the London event and also a sad story of a disco which burned 3 months ago in the middle of a pop concert killing 200 people. The doors were closed at that event; hence the association the media is doing.
