Insurance for all dogs
JPJ:
Why this will never work!!
One of the golden rules when you make a rule is that is has to be enforceable and that you have to have some sort of punishment for the offenders. e.g. If the dog warden sees your pet c***ping on the ground and you don't tidy up afterwards you'll get a fine - problem here of course is the waden has to see you!
But lets take a much easier example, we all drive cars which are all identifyable and are all insured :^o aren't they! Well we know what happens when you get caught as we all watch Traffic Cops on Dave but really we all know that there are thousands of uninsured vehicles out there on the roads and a lot that have cloned registrations. The same thing will happen if they decide to chip and insure dogs. The self respecting, law abiding majority will comply but there always be those that won't and the majority of those will get away with it as who will police this stupid suggestion? :huh:
Rant Over!

Hi guys, this is a real bug bare for me, I have two (supposed) Dangerous dogs, they are Dogue de Bordeaux's which I trust more with my 2year old cousin, than I trust my yorkie. They are all chipped and insured, which currently just for the two big girls insurance costs £80 a month, so I can imagine Insurance companies having a field day and whacking up the premiums. Its such a shame the minority spoilt it and it seems to be the breed that get bad press.
I think things wouldnt change if chipping and insurance are brought in (its the law to have horses passported and thousands arnt) I feel it will go the same way with dogs and again the minority who give particular breeds bad press will continue while responsable dog/pet owners are paying for it!!
