RALEIGH — Restaurant owners, not government bureaucrats, should make all decisions about admitting pets in their restaurants. That's the conclusion the John Locke Foundation's top regulatory expert reaches in a new Spotlight report.
Restaurant owners should be allowed to decide for themselves whether customers can bring their canine companions.
Thank Fido and Spot for adding to your local tax burden, if your city sponsors dog parks.
RALEIGH — The N.C. Supreme Court ruled June 25 that landlords can he held liable under certain circumstances for bites inflicted by tenants’ dogs. The ruling represents a significant change in case law. Traditionally, it has required that a bite victim must prove that a dog was vicious and that the owner knew of the dog’s dangerous nature before the victim could recover medical costs from the owner. Recovering costs often proved difficult or impossible if the dog owner had a limited income or assets. The new ruling creates an alternative means for bite victims to attempt to recover damages, allowing them to sue landlords, who likely have a greater ability to pay, under a theory of negligence.
