Attorney Matters in Animal Attack Settlement Matters

Claysphere Rivera asked:

 

With this modern age, people from varied walks of life are attuned in raising and rearing for animals of their choice or likings. Some of them even favored and reared for the wild and exotic ones. To say, that in this modern genre, there could be no wild animals to speak off, as varied kinds of animals have been tamed and become domesticated.

There can be a lot of pleasure in rearing for animals. Some researches have held that animal rearing can ease one’s life and even to the extent of curing some psychological illnesses. To some, they found it enjoyable to rear for their animal pet and made them become more responsible and close with nature. All these were happy stories.

However, sad though, that not all end or even begin with the same happy stories. Some animal raisers end up with gloomy tales of disasters and financial drain brought about by the injuries that their respective pets have caused to them, their families or to other persons.

Hard as it seems, animal rearing does not always carry loads of comfort, but it has also its own share of disappointments and troubles.

Thus, it would be worthwhile for animal enthusiast to know their delicate duty and obligations in rearing for their pets including their concomitant legal responsibility whenever their pet happens to injure someone.

In general, pet owners are duty bound to take care for their animals in the sense that they should keep it properly attended and should not let them go astray. Several state and local laws have implemented this mandate of duty towards achieving responsible pet rearing.

Specifically, in California, when a dog bite causes injuries, the owner or person responsible can be liable for personal injuries caused by the dog and is legally obligated to pay the animal attack victim’s damages.

On different scope, proving the owner of the animal is not necessary for one to claim compensation or damages, though it can help in some respect. The owner of the animal is usually liable whenever somebody was bitten or injured especially if the animal was behaving as it usually does normally. However, different things happen if the person injured was making the animal act differently that trigger the attack, which in such instance possible problems with the claim can be expected.

Teaching your Child Kindness Towards Animals

Ellie Dixon asked:

Surely children and pets go together like .. well, jelly and peanut butter, a horse and cart, strawberries and cream? ….. but that’s not always the case. When children and pets are with each other you might be led to believe that whilst your kids aren’t made of snips and snails, they have been created to pull puppy dogs tails. And to tease sleeping cats, chase flocks of pigeons away from the crumbs someone’s scattered for them and squash stranded worms on the pavement.

Regrettably young children and pets don’t naturally interact well, toddlers often see animals, like other objects in the house, as toys to be manipulated for their own entertainment. The long ears, tails, fur, feathers or other interesting features make yanking, tugging, squeezing, squashing and chasing them even more enjoyable.

But because toddlers see this kind of behaviour as fun, that most certainly doesn’t mean that it’s acceptable. After all you want your children and pets to get along together so you’re going to have to teach your toddler respect for animals. Not teaching them to be kind to their pets can have a negative effect on both the children and pets – many creatures have no defence against curious toddlers or alternatively an animal who can defend itself may do so. Try the following to begin to teach your child empathy with and respect for animals:

Find different kinds of animal friends

If your toddler meets different kinds of animals in different settings, they will begin to feel more comfortable around them. Make sure that the owner is present though, and happy for your child to interact with her animals – safety is of course paramount when children and pets are together. Never, ever leave your toddler unsupervised with a pet, no matter how docile you believe that creature to be.

Books

These are a great place to find new animals to introduce to your child. Start with simple books with large, easy to distinguish pictures of familiar animals. Then move on to more exotic and unfamiliar species. Toddlers particularly enjoy books about baby animals or about children and pets like themselves and their pets, which will including animals they are familiar with. Visit my website Scruffy’s Bookshop for a good selection of instantly downloadable animal stories.

Teach your child the art of petting

When children and pets are together, the child’s natural response is to smother the animal with their own particular brand of love. You are responsible for showing your child how to safely pet an animal. You can begin by using your toddler’s collection of stuffed animals to paractice on. “See, this is how you pet Rabbit, gently and slowly, just how he likes it.” Or for even more fun, get your child to pretend he or she is a baby animal that you can pet gently. If you’re feeling really brave, then you can pretend to be the animal yourself and let your child pet you!

Explain that it hurts

Tell your toddler that animals have feelings too, and that tail pulling, ear pulling, kicking and squeezing will hurt the animal as much as it would hurt them. Be very firm with them and absolutely clear that such actions are completely unacceptable.

No teasing

When children and pets are together they often want to play. But what a child sees as an enjoyable game, may in fact be teasing the animal. Teasing animals is not only unkind but potentially dangerous. Actions such as waving a bone out of a dog’s reach or pretending to eat from its bowl may bring about an aggressive reaction from the animal.

Of course children and pets do get along together, and once your child has learned respect and love for the animals in his or her life, you will have laid the foundations for them to enjoy lifetime of happiness and love with members of the animal kingdom.
