Compensation for vet bills or death-Dog Food Recall

Pet owners are not likely to get much compensation if they individually sue pet food-maker Menu Foods over the death of a dog or cat, although they might fare better if they joined forces in a class action suit, legal experts say. I would say you would get more suing individually, which you do if they allow it. Once there is a class action lawsuit most want you to file your claim under it.

Most states consider animals personal property rather then a family member. There are no damages no matter how emotional you are over your pet. Just the value on property is all you get.

Several people have racked up thousands of dollars in vet bills over this. I wonder how much they consider a dog’s worth. How much money do you put on the value of your pet and how much do you think a person is entitled to if the pet died or was sick? Post your comments.
