[QUOTE="gman042, post: 1350206, member: 36560"] What is right is right. This driver was right to defend himself in this situation. Every one of us would have done similar. This particular customer was wrong. Just like when UPS set the precedent to charge drivers with an accident when they run over a dog because someone somewhere had an expensive canine that they allowed into the street, this is going to be similar. From now on we will be no longer allowed to defend ourselves in an animal attack because the company fears the limelight even when the driver took proper action to defend himself. From now on either don't set foot on a questionable property that [I]might [/I]have an aggressive animal or if you happen to be surprised by a dog that someone lets out of the house just stand there and let it maul you. That is the stand that UPS is taking if they allowed this particular customer to get his way and receive compensation for his failure to control his animal. People catch wind of this and everyone will jump on the band wagon. [/QUOTE]
