A bill introduced in Texas would require sporting dog owners to purchase liability insurance for many of their dogs.
House Bill 998, introduced by Rep. Ruth McClendon (D- San Antonio), would require owners of unneutered male dogs weighing 20 or more pounds, that are not restrained at all times, to carry a minimum $100,000 insurance liability policy. A dog is only considered restrained if it is either kept in an enclosure or kept on a leash under the immediate control of a person at all times.
Failing to purchase the insurance would be a class C misdemeanor.
This bill would require a dog owner who wants take their dog hunting or to even play fetch in an unfenced back yard to purchase liability insurance.
Why?
My home owners insurance covers this, also why only dogs over 20 lbs? The little dogs cause just as much pain when they bite.
I get confused at what out elected officials think about and where they get there ideas, do these people spend there every waking moment thinking about ways to **** with the average person or what?
