It is because of liability. Pretty soon only the handlers and their dogs will be able to attend shows due to insurance, liability, and paid hostile people. Oh but then we will not be showing and oh...the end of another sport run into the ground by stupid and close minded people. The other side of this is that cubs have to protected themselves from higher insurance premiums. They get sued because a kid in a stroller has his face chopped up by a big dog there goes the insurance premium. Guess who pays YOU THE EXHIBITOR because we go up with the entry fees.
