'Who do they think they are suing'?

You & me - the rate payers.

Errr,


which one is the dog?


btw why didn't they sue the owner of the cat which the dog was chasing?

Rather than hang about waiting for compensation, with the dog in pain, if she's on benefits, why doesn't she go to the PDSA/Blue Cross?

The dog should have been on the lead under proper control.

As I don't own a dog I'm not sure of the rules but are dogs not supposed to be on a lead? :-( if so how can she have a claim....poor wee dog too! as Maggie says Blue Cross etc.

Said dog owner seems to typify everything that is wrong with this country .....

I agree with MarieCeleste

Disabled? On benefits? 2 dogs?

I think the woman has been watching too many of the "Judge Judy" shows.

Animals everywhere have little or no rights & the sentences handed out to those who abuse them rarely deter further maltreatment.
