Insurance for all dogs
muddyjames:
My dog is insured and gotmy money back each year so far!
But imagine the situation. al dogs are fully insured and micro chipped. A dog runs up to you, takes a chunk out your arm, runs off. How will you know who to go to and who it is insured by? Are you supposed to fight it and pin it to the ground and some how get it to a vet with a micro chip reader and get the details? Or will dogs have to have a tax disk like for a car except with insurance details on, on a simple to break off tag so you can keep it? I dont think so. The idea is there but totally un workable. Even if the owner is there, they can give false details and then never to be seen again.
I do like the idea though of Asbo's for dogs where ones who have gone to attack something needs to be muzzled and neutered.
I tend to think most of it is down to the owner any way on how the dog was brought up. If it was brought up encouraged to fight then it is bound to fight or attack someone as that is all it knows. If it was brought up as a family pet or fetch game in a field then that is most likely what it will want to do and not be vicious.
I could go on for a long time about all this but I wont!

After I saw this story this morning on TV I've been scanning the rest of the news for the nasty story they're trying to keep our attention away from. Haven't found it yet ... except maybe the trade deficit ....
Honestly though, with the country's economy in the toilet haven't they got something better to concern themselves with?

ALL DOGS ????
Our 13 year old Westie only ever goes out of the house for 15 minutes at 6.30am and always on a lead so I won't be insuring him no matter what :x :x :x
Their trying to hide the "crap equipment for our troops" story.
