Yes. If her cat entered your yard by any foreseeable reason she is liable. If the dogs escape from his yard and attacked her cats then it would be a different story.

lmao good job dude!!

 

[narutofan36]

yeah, stick it up to them

 

[Dudewithoutapet]

I totally agree with you man. She should keep a cat worth that much in her house. I'd say keep the reciepts saying the cat is "feral" and obviously she didnt register the cat, so there is no way she can sue you for so much. GL on the situation.

Not many people keep pet chickens, skunks, or roosters.. let alone let them out of the house if they did. Cats are in the top 2 of house pets and are also let out of the house a lot by some families who have them. Against most dogs they stand no chance in a fight, so that's why it turns out to be a cat owner in almost every situation like this... it's not about being obsessed, but people love their pets understandably.

Your hatred of cats oozes from your post.

Didn't read the whole thread, but if a cat get scared enough and decides to fight back, I'm afraid it's most dogs that won't stand a chance. A cat will shred a dog to bits if it stands it's ground, but they almost always try to run.... if the dog get's a hold of it, well then it's bye bye kitty.

You were also the pesrson that said the dog owner should "pay up" because he didn't control his dogs. His dogs appearently WERE in perfect control, they were in their own yard and the cat entered THEIR domain. If they had went into the cats yard, or even got loose and killed it in the street then you could put the blame on him, but in this case, if anything SHE should have to pay him back for the vet bills and the disposal of the cat.

Dont EVER say that.
Its not too dangerous to own its just that owners need to be held responsible.

Thats a dangerous, dangerous slippery slope.
Because then cars over 300 HP are "too dangerous to own", guns are "too dangerous to own", knives are "too dangerous to own" and the list goes on and on.

And just to clear it up, yes there have been cases where countries have tried to ban kitchen knives.
Why?
They were deemed too dangerous.

The slippery slope argument is a logical fallacy. I can't legally own a rocket launcher, yet I can own a handgun. Somehow the law found a somewhat stable point on that "slope."

Are they claiming the cat was made out of enriched plutonium?

It's not really a logical fallacy, it's just the reality of having laws based on popular opinion. Some countries state that having free speech is way too radical, while others are free to say what they want. Popular opinion can change, too, and what's commonly accepted during one time period may be considered completely off the wall later on.

Ok, I don't know if someone has already mentioned this, but without registered papers claiming the cat is a pure blood w/e anything it birthed would be worth jack ******. My sister has a pure maltiase, but could never breed it because it does not have papers claiming it is and showing its bloodline. Without those things the cat would not be worth anything.

Seriosuly, let her see and then countersue. or if you want to avoid all this just confront her and id bet she back down. she is just trying to make a easy buck. Id bet she would settle for $1000

Don't even bother settling. It's clear that she shouldn't be getting any money.

Over a long period of time, laws ARE based on popular opinion. The two main modifying factors are inertia (laws tend to change more slowly than popular opinion, which is good since it acts as a stabilizer) and exposure (a law that's getting a lot of media attention will start changing more quickly to popular opinion..which can be good or bad, depending on your point of view). But if popular opinion suddenly concluded that free speech is bad, after a decade or two it would be gone, despite what a silly document like the bill of rights seems to say.

I throw rubble, weeds, etc over the back fence all the time, including all the dead cats my dog kills. Gee, it seems like every other day I'm weeding the flowerbeds and I come across another blasted dead cat carcass. Over the fence it goes......

LMFAO

He's pure flamebait. I honestly wonder if he just says insanely idiotic things for attention, because no reasonable, rational human being could say the sh*t he does and honestly believe it themselves.

Anybody as tough as you in cyberspace would surely get their @ss kicked in a real confrontation. You must be one bad @ss MFer to seriously beat the sh!t out of a person you've never even seen. If I played as many video games as you, my scenerio would go like this: Bad @ss neighbor comes over to seriously beat me, but soon learns he's spent too much time in front of a video game console and finds himself being beaten within inches of his life. I pick him up and put him in the car (tons of, blood, piss, & crap on him of course). I then drive him to the Vet in an attempt to save his life, but the Vet says it isn't possible so I agonize over it for 3 seconds and decide to have him humanely euthanized.

Edit: I almost forgot. I don't care if I get arrested either. I'm just that bad @ss. Anybody reading this and not fearing me watch out because I'm so pissed I'm about to come through your monitor.

Oh really?
Then why are they continually pushing to regulate/ban more and more things?

Dogs known to attack medium sized animals also are likely to attack small children.

And you really can't keep an eye out 24/7 for your animals.

1. Not if you keep your possessions on your own property. I know many people who keep their cats in their houses and have no problems.

2. Bullshit. I've known many dogs to catch the unsuspecting hummingbird or rat and they are the nicest dogs you will ever meet.

3. If you can't then you don't deserve to own any animals. Be responsible for your own property.

hummingbird or rat is not a cat.

I'm sure there isn't a sane pet owner in the world who watches their pet 24/7.

I'd have a feeling I'd beat you especially hard because you are quite arrogant and un-neighborly.

If I see my pet attacking another person pet cat or dog, I immediately scold it to make that kind of behavior cease.

YOu must have a lonely life if your THAT MUCH In love with a cat and you would kill for it! And yeah, the people that go around on the internet saying they will beat up people for stupid ****** are the ones that cant fight and probably got beat up when they were kids haha.

You should probably set up some surveillance in your backyard, she sounds like the type of person that will "take revenge" on your dogs...

I'd probably consider paying her the 180K + a little extra just to make her happy and call it a day. Realize how easy you are getting off.

haha are you serious!??! is he going to pull the 180k out of his back pocket? ANd how is getting off easy? HE DID NOTHING WRONG IN ANY LEGAL SENSE. Prove he did something illegal please!

All you a$$hats that are so anti-pitbull are complete IDIOTS. The issue with pitbulls is not the dogs. It is irresponsible breeders and owners.

Basically you people want to punish the thousands and thousands of law abiding pitbull owners who's dog would never harm a person. If you don't believe me, what the dog whisperer on the national geographic channel. Cesar Millan has proven time and time again it is not vicious dogs that are the problem, it is reckless humans. So yeah, lets blame the dog breed.

That is the simple way out. Then we can ban the NEW NUMBER ONE DOG that attacks people until we have no dogs left.

Because there is no accountability but be honest with yourself. Can you pick out the pitbull out of this lineup? I bet you can't. The fact is that most dogs attributed as pitbulls aren't even pitbulls.

Take a look and be honest. do you even know what a pitbull is?
