Ekstremalnego patriarchatowi ale takie wampiry straszne symbolicznym pozwala której uczestnicy accident you be liable to all damages to the cars, persons etc. Also a dog fight, the owner of the dog who bit has to pay the vet for the dog who got bitten. Even if you had your dog on a leash and the bitten dog was running freely and towards you….. most pet owners do have a home insurance including pet damage. 3) this law is really extension of the second law, giving the police the possiblity to take a dog from a person who they think is not fit to keep a dog. This law has far been used to take dogs who have bitten or threatened a person, to test them and to decide if to put the dog down, rehome it or give it back. far this law has been strangely used with dogs whisked away without warning and no possibility to appeal the decision made. A few dogs have survived but most have been put down setting all normal legal rules or actions aside. We are not happy about this….. There is ongoing discussion about banning breeds. There was a time the 90-ies when pits were illeagal but the ban was revoked since it really was a owner problem and not a breed problem. However those years gave way to a lot of kitchen mixes and the wrong kind of persons got interested these breeds and mixes thereof. It is intresting how laws and regulations differ between countries. I travel Europe with pets you have to keep track on national laws when passing the borders We live the south of Spain where there is a list of potentially dangerous dogs as as arm including all the usual suspects and Dobermanns, Staffordshire bull terriers AND any dog over 25kg's that has short hair and is muscular. If you own one of these dogs you must be liscensed after passing a mental test which has no relevance to dogs, dog must be on lead and muzzled. Wish someone that knew about dogs made the laws about dogs! I live East Texas and the dog laws are beginning to change- a good way. Some counties are enacting laws against selling puppies parking lots laws against keeping a dog chained to a tree and legislation to limit the number of litters per year attempt to wipe out puppy mills. Unfortunately there is still active dog fighting circuit although law enforcement is doing their best to abolish them. Outside of city limits there aren't any leash laws at all Hi I know exactly what you mean by the poor animal welfare laws here the US. The HSUS is trying very hard to change that. Most recently we sent over 10 signatures to Washington concerning a law coming up that should change the laws governing puppy mills, etc. IF Obama sign it. Word had it that we needed at least 5 signatures we beat that. we can sit back and what happens. As for where I live Chattanooga, TN. the local Humane Society is divided. The City is doing well with a beautiful animal shelter called the McKamey Animal Shelter alongwith a strict law not allowing dogs to be tethered for over 12 hours at a time but the County laws stink. Their animal shelter is not as nice as well as there are no laws keeping pet owners from tethering their dogs 24 and believe me I know some houses where these poor animals are on a rope tied to a tree and have been that way for years. It's pathetic but the County won't do a thing about it. As far as the City goes once again, Chattanooga is becoming very pet friendly and we even just had the 4th annual doggy day a large park where everybody gets together to ‘show off' their canine friends. Most all of the public parks allow dogs as as they are on a leash and the owner is responsible to clean up after them. our city is getting much better as we have plenty of dog lovers here! Where I live SE Ohio, the leash law is pretty non-existent. I had a heck of a time finding the actual law when I moved here, and as best I can tell, the law simply says that your dog must wear its county tag or the dog warden take it to the animal shelter. city limits, dogs must be on leash, though I have not seen that law enforced and all of the off-leash dogs I have
