SIR – So the government now want dog owners to insure against their dogs biting other people – OK.
But why should decent owners who care for and control their pets be, in effect, penalised because of yobs who couldn’t care less?
No, of course, there should not be these dog attacks, but how often is the owner of an offending dog caught? Rarely. So any “insurance claim” would be non-existent, and the likelihood of such an owner being insured is doubtful.
Yes, I would conform, though my dogs are never out of control – in fact one is too disabled to exercise anymore.
Again, the Government comes up with a futile idea.
