If your dog bites someone…

On Nov 26, 2007, 5 large-breed Rottweilers dashed out of a Lengkong Tika home and attacked a small-breed Jack Russell terrier being walked by its owner. The dogs had allegedly bitten a person earlier. What happened after that, was that the owner Madam Satpal Kuar was ordered to give up two of her dogs, as no more than three dogs are allowed on a private property. Potentially, she could also face a a fine up to $50000 for allowing all five dogs out unleashed and without muzzles. [source]

In fact, even if it has been your maid walking your dog, and then your dog bites someone, you will still be fined. You can’t just have you maid take the blame, and there’s no way for you to say:

“Although the maid was neither directly nor indirectly linked to the attacks of the dogs down the leash, and she was not at fault over the attacks, the maid was holding the leash of the dogs.”

And guess what the judge will do when you indignantly say,

“Why fine me? It’s not my fault?” .

You will still be fined. And on a particular bad day, the CJ will probably review your case and slap a heavier punishment on you.

Unless… you wear white and draws 3 million dollars of pay. Then probably the maid gets sent home for it and you get away scot free.
