Edited to add: I notice the article is talking about the UK. I wonder if they have insurance on pets there?

| That is pretty disgusting! No one who truly cared for their pet could use them for a scam like that -- especially the ones that ACTUALLY KILLED them! How sick! This will all make it more difficult to get insurance and the premium will start going sky high! I don't have mine insured but this sort of things will make me even less likely to look into it.

Thinking about it, I would imagine it's included in case she bites someone, hence the surcharge for certain breeds-they would charge more for breeds more prone to attacking people. Just my guess.
