Woman gets $45,480 for a cat killed


Recommended Posts

Only in the US!!!  :alien:  :alien:  :alien:

This would never happen here in England. People here are insane about pets but it would still get thrown out of the courts. So far the same dogs that killed my cat have killed another possible 15 and I can't even get the owner to stop letting them out. Despite all the laws the owner has never even gotten a poop fine!  :angry: Cocopuff killed by irresponsible owner's dogs If you visit the site please sign the guestbook - link at top of page to show your support!

Dude, you have everyright to kill that dog if it comes on your property. beat the **** out of it with a pole or something

One of my neighbors dog's got out and killed my cat one time. Next day, I fed the dog antifreeze. Illeagle you say? Well not when the dog came into my garage and drank the Antifreeze =) He killed himself.

The dog's owner was in the wrong, it should of been contained in the yard and not be able to go into the old woman's yard. $45K is however excessive, I would think that no more than $1,000 TOPS would be fair, after all it's not like the neighbour did it himself in a cruel and sadistic way(There has been a case here in AUS with an old man beating a kitten to death with his walking stick in front of the little girl that owned it, just because it was on his driveway and he wanted to make some lame point to the girl to control where it goes - even though it was being supervised by the little girl :( )... it's the dog that did it, it's nature.

I am against violent dogs too, but that's another story, it's not illegal to have that breed of dog in that state in the US, so you can't hold that against the owner.

By the way I'm a cat lover, even though I'm not siding with the judgement :p

The guy should have been ordered to have a fence company come and build a steel fence around his entire property within 15 days since he doesn't know how to build one himself. And a fullpage letter of apology in the local newspaper to the lady explain how irresponsible he was....there should also be a picture of the new kitten he had to buy. And to top it off I would make him to community service at the local animal shelter on the weekends for 3 months.

so if I had a pet worm, and someone's pet bird ate my worm, can I sue for my heartbreak?

The guy was in jail and his dog killed the cat while he was away. Now the lady gets $48,000 so the guy can suffer for something he had no control of. Stupidass lady, even though it was a loved cat it shouldn't be $48,000. Hope that lady croaks fast. I hope the guy can get out of that dept. :angry:

I'm suprised a lawyer didn't say "This is a great day for cats. Where all cats who are victims can now...blah blah blah." Die old lady so he doesn't have to pay.
