wild animals are covered thru comprehensive insurance because you can't bill mother nature for damages. no comp ins you are up the creek without a paddle.


Pedestrians have the right of way While in a Cross walk not anywhere on the street, "Owned" animals and their actions are the responsibility of the owners, These are Laws not opinion or conjecture. If a Owned animal (Dog/Cat/Cow/Horse) gets hit by a vehicle while on a public thoroughfare, it is the drivers responsibility to report it (police/owners), and any damages incurred are the responsibility of the "Owner"
Wild critters are an act of God...

I get that it's the law, it just seems to be a double standard only because the animal is owned. If it was allowed to run free I get that also but the dog was leashed. Stuff happens, things break, you get the picture. Animals can be unpredictable whether they are owned or not. Nature of the beast.
