"At this time, there is very little chance of recovering anything through a lawsuit against the owner of the dog"

I'm in favor of Debtor's prisons for these situations.... You wanna play lion tamer without the requisite containment infrastructure, you gotta pay!

Which in the state of Ohio -- that mandates pit bull liability insurance of $100,000 for all pit bulls -- equals $65 per month with a $5,000 deductible. Mind you, this is for a pit bull that is sterilized AND does not have a bite record.

This is the cost to insure a pit bull for a $100,000 liability policy. This amount can hardly cover the cost of Amaya's medical bills. BASE cost for pit bull liability coverage should start at $250,000, a quarter of a million dollars.
