Insurers need to be rounded up, placed in a pit, and ignited. They are destroying this country.
For us, as long as the dog is on a leash, or controlled in some way then that is OK. The issue comes when something goes wrong ,i.e. dog runs off after seeing something to chase and runs right into a moving propellor. It's not the insurers fault, it really all leads back to the courts and the government. Dog runs into propellor, owner of said dog sues, lawyers chase whoever has the most money BUT it is the Judge that ultimately decides that it is (for example) the pilots fault for not anticipating the dog and shutting down the engine (Airport owner has no money, aircraft is amateur built so no big factory to sue etc.). The Judging is based on the law so it is the government that needs to change laws such that these frivolous lawsuits do not happen and THEN airport owners can make things a lot more friendly knowing that if someone else makes a mistake that they or their tenants are not going to be sued.
