As I mentioned in my most recent post, the UK Government wished to introduce a law making it mandatory for all dog owners to pay for third-party liability insurance for their pets. This was supposedly to help with the damage caused by illegal breeds of dog on other people and the costs of dealing with their owners. Obviously, this plan went down like a lead balloon.
Well the government has now dropped their plan which would have seen each dog owner pay for the illegal activities of others, while those very same law-breakers would still get away with owning banned breeds of dog.
I for one am glad, because the last thing anyone needs in this economic climate is MORE expense due to other people being irresponsible!
