NDWA Calls For UK Compulsory Dog Insurance
In a draft report, scathing of existing UK breed specific dangerous
dogs legislation and equally scathing of those organisations that contributed to it, the National Dog Wardens Association NDWA has called for the compulsory insurance of all dogs in the country. |

That's a different approach. I wonder what kinds of coverage for liability and medical costs would be involved, what premiums would cost, what punishments would be in place for people who failed to purchase a policy, how it would be enforced. It sounds like it's modeled on mandatory automobile insurance - also difficult to enforce (in some states an estimated 25% of drivers are not insured). In the US some insurance companies refuse to write homeowner's insurance policies for people who have specific breeds of dogs, or they charge higher premiums for some breeds, or they refuse to renew policies if some breeds have been acquired. This varies between companies, states, and probably locations. http://www.akc.org/insurance/homeowners_inscenter.cfm FurPaw -- It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Army has to hold a bake sale to buy a tank. To reply, unleash the dog. |
