Insurance Companies Unfairly Target Specific Dog Breeds

The insurance industry appears to have those owners who prefer large, powerful breeds such as rottweilers, German shepherds, Doberman pinschers, akitas, pit bulls, or chows. Happened to me - had to put farm insurance on my property to cover my NICE dogs

I lied, said my rottie was a lab mix...unless someone comes in my fenced and gated coutry property with intent to harm me, she's safe, and if it ever happened I would rather have her protection, than alstates. so screw them.

if the insurance companies are able to ban certain breeds of dogs, it is only a matter of time before they start muscling us in other ways...eg...banning families with football playing boys, etc....the breed is not the problem, the owners usually are...the poor dog gets the short end of the stick no matter what....I, for one, am keeping my German Shepherd and my house safe....I am with you on that one, Juanita!!!!!!!

Insurance is a State Sanctioned Extortion racketThey My pay off But they Spend about as much on Lawyers and Adds Thier biz is All about $$$ not protecting thier customers They lobby for Changes in the Laws toincrease thier profits and leave Victims of tragedy Crying in the rubble of thier shatterd lives.!.!
I Carry insurance on My Van Because I Wouldn't want to leave some one With the Costs of an accident that was my Fault however the last Srious accident I was In 8yrs ago it took 4yrs to settle after the Greedy jerk tool it too Court to try to Collect Exsessive $$$ for a Preexisting Condition (his own doctor wouldn't support his Claims) he only got $3,000 after spending WAY more than that on lawyers.! While I Believe he May have Deserved more thats hat the jury awarded: The Problem As I see iy is that the proccess is intentionally Stalled by the lawyers and ins co's. there needs to Be prompter settlements and Services For People not $$..!. My girlfriend does not carry any insurance on her SWEET Assistance/Companion/Protector Dog An Ausie/ Rottie that stays in her Bedroom whenever I'm gone where She has a weapon at each corner of the bed to protect them Both and My position is there won't be a lawsuit cause anyone She needs to Bite in public Won't Survive ME.!..
