Fuel Price Protests

In Spain and Portugal, there are vast protests against high fuel prices. Hauliers strike. Unfortunately, this has lead to the death of two people. Fuel is a valuable resource and the oil based fuels we use today won't last forever, so there are reasons for the high prices. Still, I can understand the protests. This is important even for me, personally. It may seem futile, but if fuel gets too expensive, how are dogs and their owners supposed to go to dog shows?
