I agree with you. Maybe this guy had a hard time keeping the dog in the yard. Some dogs are escape artists. Me neighbors dogs are always getting out. My Choc. Lab has gotten out a couple of times when the gate did not latch properly.
Granted my neighbors dogs and my Lab are not capable of hurting anything. My Lab will chase a cat / bird / squirrel if given the chance. Would it kill? Don't know, don't think so.
45K for a cat? Dogs kill cats like this guy said cats kill birds, shall we start citing cat owners every time a cat kills a bird?
Ha!! I am getting sued 10K because some guy bought a house and its fence is 25 feet outside the property. I am a land surveyor I depicted the fence on the survey. (Which he claims he never saw, honestly ther bank hired me to survey his land not him, I delivered it to the bank) I am at a loss why the fence company is not being sued. They installed it. I had to hire an attorney to retort their attempted letter of extortion.
