Again another issue that’s been discussed/disputed for ages.Anyway, the whole problem in the cartoon wouldn’t have happened these days, with no Twinkies available (unless it was an old stale one, or the incident-which the litigation had only begun-happened months prior)
As a kid, I loved Twinkies. Ate them by the box full! Then for some reason I didn’t have one until I was, probably, in my forties. I thought I would puke it was so sweet! I only took one bite and threw the rest away. Never to indulge in Twinkies again! No wonder they went under. By the way, I’m 83 now. Long live Twinkies!
$9.4 million would be extreme. However, if somebody was found guilty of throwing a food wrapper or chicken bone on the ground and a dog ate that wrapper or bone, the guilty party SHOULD be responsible for compensating for any medical costs and/or the loss of the dog. Personal responsibility should not rest solely with the victim.
You’re supposed to be in control of your dog at all times. The litterer can be fined for littering. If a dog owner can’t stop his dog from eating things from the ground, I don’t trust him to stop his dog from biting a small child who comes running up. You want a dog, you take the risk.
