That too. Public liability insurance payouts have been so huge
that insurance is impossible to get now for a whole lot of
things, and if i dug a bit, I'm sure I could find you cases where
someone (probably a burglar attempting a break and enter) was
awarded hundreds of thousands of doallrs because they slipped and
strained their ankle on an apple core from a fruit tree in a
backyard somewhere. This sort of litigation we picked up from
the world's best teachers.

I'll give you one example.
A burglar was trying to break into a friends home.
Climbed a pipe andopened the 1st floor bathroom window.
Stuck his arm through and it was immediately latched onto by the
resident Doberman.
Burglar threw his other arm up and smashed thru the glass severely
cutting his wrist and arm.
He let go and fell to the ground, tearing his hand from the clenched
jaws of the dog and losing IIRC two fingers in the process.
The fall broke numerous bones and did other damage.

My friend was sued by the crim for having a dangerous dog, won the
case and was granted substantial compensation.

One can only hope that he stuck it all into his arm and justice was
done!

The dogs life was saved on appeal.


Oz1...of the 3 twins.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

the
confined quarters and absence of open space. The australians
posting in this newsgroup range from strongly deviant to
extremely deviant from the suburban norm.

I think that that statement would apply to the USA people and the Candians
here, too....the trend here in new housing is the 3000sq ft house on a 60x90
lot...and you don't own the lot, just the house....all the grounds are
communal...think we'll just stay here in our littler older house in the
middle of 6 acres with our fruit trees and wildlife....

I'm with you on that....we are still zoned ag but the subbies have moved
ouyt...when the big influx came about 8 years ago, we started getting booby

campaign...since a horse is a legal mode of road transportation in MI they
didn't get anywhere, but that didn't stop them from terrorism...one reason
why I sold off my horses...got to be that every time you went someone was
harassing you or trying to spook your horse on purpose....I actually had a
bicyclist accost me in my own driveway because my horse had made a dump....I
asked him where he lived and he said in Grand Rapids...I informed him that I
paid taxes on my property, he didn't, and that he could go ride down the
city streets and become a drive-by shooting for all I cared...

You should have shot him. It's legal in your own driveway. We have lots
of Amish horse & buggies around here. The yuppie types complain about them,
even though they were here first.

Scotty, can't we all just get along?
