Man's Best Friend?
Manage episode 345724302 series 2791804
On October 2, 2022, a 13-year-old girl was walking home from school on Staten Island when she was suddenly and viciously attacked by a group of pit bulls which had escaped from an open window in their owners’ home. The pit bulls also attacked a 2-year-old girl and a 19-year-old woman.
Sadly, these types of attacks are not isolated incidents, either in New York City or elsewhere. According to the insurance industry, there were almost 18,000 dog-bite claims filed in the United States in 2021, a small fraction of the 4.5 million dog bites that occur each year. Between 2005 and 2020, dogs killed over 560 Americans, more than two-thirds of which were caused by pit bulls.
In this episode of The Blame Game, we try to answer the question of, Who’s to Blame for these tragic events which can leave its victims with physical and emotional scars for life and are oftentimes fatal for the dog itself? Who bears legal responsibility when a dog bites and injures someone?
