    Strict liability holds owners responsible for their actions of their pets, even if the upmost care is taken to protect others from injury or harm. There are good arguments made on both sides of the aisle regarding whether owners of domestic animals should be held strictly liable for injuries their pets cause to others. Many states have statutes in place that protect owners from strict liability claims unless they knew in advance that the animal had a dangerous propensity. Owners of wild animals, on the other hand, are always held strictly liable. This is because it is in the very nature of these animals to be dangerous to human beings, to attack for seemingly no reason at all, and to have an inability to live in harmony amongst…

Approximately 4.5 million dog bites happen each year in the United States and an average of 30 of those attacks are fatal (Dog Bite Statistics 1). With such an alarming amount of incidences many public authorities turn to breed-specific legislation when confronted with the issue of dog attacks, bites or dogs disrupting the community. Debate continues over whether breed-specific legislation proves to be effective or not in reducing the amount of dog-related injuries though. Around the…

    Though, as demonstrated in Quinlisk v Kearney , Murphy J. evokes the relevant point that the term “has been judicially defined as including an assault which does not, necessarily, involve battery”. This means that physical contact is not required to result in an attack and so it widens the sphere of influence of the Act: it can apply to more situations. The term “owner” also plays a major role in establishing liability as an identified defendant can only be held legally responsible. Section 1 of the Act defines an “owner” as “the occupier of any premises where the dog is kept or permitted to live or remain at any particular time”. The case Leahy v Leader evokes this issue: while on the defendant’s property, the plaintiff was bitten by a dog belonging to someone else also on the property.…
