My dog attacked by a Pit Bull ... second time in a year

[Steve Meliza]

"Most" would refer to those parts of the USA that are still free and recognize that a dog of any breed may defend its property against the uninvited. As a citizen of a free state I refuse to accept the laws of the UK, Australia, Canada, NJ, NY, IL, CA, or similar as to what is right and just. I use logic and reason for that.

I'm not saying that I feel the pit bull owners did the right thing, just that I don't think they legally or morally should have an obligation to compensate you for the attack. Now as a good neighbor they should, but those are not as common as they used to be.

any breed may defend its property against the uninvited.

Where did the word "defend" come in?
What was my neighbor's dog defending?
***
I have checked with my homeowner's insurance company (LIberty Mutual)
I am covered for any injuries inflicted by my dog (Irish Setter)
But Liberty Mutual DOES NOT cover injuries inflicted by homeowners with Pit Bulls (and about 9 other aggressive breeds.)
The woman at Liberty Mutual said that is pretty much industry standard now.
In other words, my neighbor most likely does not carry any insurance for his dog.
Nor (most likely) do most of the other owners of Pit Bulls in the United States.

How does this go on?
