Doesn't any one take these "owners" to court for criminal and financial liability after an attack.
Most home owners liability policies exclude the very breeds of dogs that have had these issues in the past. This is not a new event, trying to defend even a civil suit without support from an insurance company would result in a major setback to ones lifestyle and home ownership, if they are renters go after the landlord for keeping an unsafe premises, maybe that would help an irresponsible person to come to the conclusion its easier to train, restrain or not own a vicious animal...
I think any lawyer (can we spell contingency) worth his salt would have a field day with this, allowing an animal to attack someone is major in terms of liability both civil and criminal
or am I missing something?
