[Mr.Kimball]

Can the person the suit is filed against even pay $50 million? Where exactly are they going to come up with that money?

Again, I'm not saying she shouldn't get something, but $50 million?

$5-10 million seems more realistic to me.

Do you have any knowledge that this lady does not have those type of assets?


Is 5-10 million what you would value for yourself , if your in her shoes? How can you define what is realistic? Hope you or one of your kids are never in the postion to have to make one of those determinations. Whatever a jury awards this lady, I hope it is every penny that can possibly be obtained.

Listen, I have given my thoughts and opinions on these viscious breeds of dogs in the past too, and you and many other posters are not in agreement with me on those either. I just cannot figure out why people are in such denial about how animals have the tendency to go off the deep end without warning and do the damage they do, until it's too late. This lady was warned by primate experts not to have this chimp live like a human being in her house, but again the owner was in complete denial about what kind of potential her chimp in inflicting human harm. "You just dont know my .....(whatever the chimps name was). This lady's attitude was no different than how the owners of these killer breeds of dogs view their pets. "Little spot could never do what you are saying, he's just so loving and kind." How many times do you hear this stuff? Then there's always the classic " It's the bad owners that are the problem". Then you get the rhetoric such as how statistics show that Chihahaus, poodles, cockerspaniels, etc. are actually a more viscious breed than the Pit Bulls, the Rotweilers, etc, etc, etc .

Sad truth is there is more apathy towards human victims when these incidents occur and more sympathy towards the animals. People are just plain stupid when it comes to their animals.
