TESS as the property owner who is to some extent liable for whatever happens can restrict dogs from thier property unless they are seeing eye dogs, which like the rest of thier cannie brothers are not a health concerns at all. Source : the health regulations.

Unfortunately the TESS's fear of liability seems to overide scouting prinicples.They have over empowered themselves by not making alternate accomodations - ( koerte all laager ehk "murilaste platts". )

Clearly it is for the most part striclty the dog owner who is liable should any related mishaps occur. This desicion is soley in the childrens best intertests - albiet a big time knee jerk reaction.

Unfortunelty our litiginous society has left our cannies family members excluded ..... Where do they sue??

You've always believed in Political Correctness. Now it comes back to haunt you in a way you don't like, and you get angry. Shows what a sense of short-sightedness you display when you compare attitudes to the days prior to your much hailed PC Postmodernism. One sad fact about life is you can't bring back the past, and all the good things that went with it. So keep on being negative and try to come to terms with it when it comes back and hits you in the proverbial.

You must have friends in high places to have your rule imposed at KJ.
I guess it will be Jõekääru & Seedrioru next. There sure were a lot of happy puppies in both those places this year too.

I also smile behind my anonymity. You don't actually even know if I AM a dog owner or just posing as one to expose the ridiculousness of this argument. Animal lovers don't neccessarily have to be animal owners. All I know is that as long as I have been going to KJ, there have been dogs there.

I wonder what Alice Kullango or Leo Puurits and others who helped build KJ would have said, back in the day, if someone told them that their dogs aren't welcome there? (and there were hundreds and hundreds more people in camp in those days!)
