Alaska Darin Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Our vet misdiagnosed our dog and she ended up dying. We forgave him and bought another dog. Had I known I'd have a chance at $39K, I'd have forgiven him - and bought another dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhonix Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Lucky's case would join a series of recent court decisions that essentially have treated animals as human under the law. This coming in a country where we didnt even recognize African-Americans as people for 100 years. Yeah, our government is in real good shape.

ch19079 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 i think they should be treated the same as people, but not reward the same amount of money. a doctor has a major screw up and my dog dies... i would file a lawsuit. but not for millions, but a few thousand. kill my best friend, i want you to hurt alittle. its not that i want money, but you cant just say "im sorry i screwed up" and thats it..

LabattBlue Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 From the USA Today article.... Duane Flemming, a veterinarian, lawyer and past president of the American Veterinary Medical Law Association, says vets who promote the emotional bond between owner and pet are hard-pressed to go to court and claim the animal had little value. "It's a hypocrisy to say, 'Spend more money on animals because they are worth more,' and then not be willing to award more when there's a loss," he says. Flemming, who practices in Concord, Calif., is an ophthalmologist who says he once performed eye surgery on a one-legged duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live&DieBillsFootball Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I can't wait for the Cellino and Barnes commercials for dog injuries. I hope my dog doesn't sue me for mental anguish for faking the tennis ball throw. Also, I told him I was taking him to be tutored when I took him to be neutered.
