The husky bit the sheep's buttocks, the teeth were broken, and the dog owner claimed 20,004 from the hotel for the husky's teeth, and the dog owner said: "It has not seen the sheep and is curious." ”
It happened on February 18, when Ms. Yuan, a dog lover, and her friends checked into a "pet-friendly" hotel in Changxing, Huzhou, with two huskies. The hotel is known for being pet-friendly, not only allowing pets, but also offering many recreational facilities and venues for pets.
The next day, Ms. Yuan and her friends took their two huskies to play on the lawn of the hotel, everything was fine, the huskies were very happy, Ms. Yuan was very happy on the side, but the next second there was a funny but unpleasant scene.
In addition to Ms. Yuan's two huskies and three free-range sheep on the lawn, these two huskies in the city have never seen live goats, so they desperately rushed towards the two goats, and Ms. Yuan couldn't pull them.
After the two dogs got to the goat's buttocks, they couldn't stop sniffing.
Suddenly, the husky bit the sheep's buttocks. Seeing this scene, the hotel staff subconsciously kicked the dog twice.
But I don't think that after being stimulated by the outside world, the dog bites more tightly, and does not let go at all, and this bite is three or four minutes.
Under the comfort of Ms. Yuan and another staff member, the husky slowly let go of his mouth, and the sheep's buttocks were bleeding.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.
But Ms. Yuan didn't care about the goat, she saw that her husky's mouth kept shaking, she felt that something was not quite right, and later found that her husky was also injured, so she quickly sent her husky to the pet hospital.
After examination by the hospital, Ms. Yuan's husky was diagnosed with "broken incisors and broken teeth, close to the gums". The pulp has been exposed, the nerve has died, and there is no way to fill the tooth but to extract the tooth.
Ms. Yuan had no choice but to pull out the husky's teeth, and she spent 4,000 yuan in medical expenses.
And the doctor told Ms. Yuan that if the husky wants to implant teeth, it will cost about 15,000 to 20,000 yuan.
That night, Ms. Yuan also found that the husky was lame on one foot and could not lift it.
After all, Ms. Yuan has always raised the two huskies as her own sons, and when she saw this situation, she was naturally distressed and decided to go to the hotel to discuss it the next day.
However, the communication was not smooth, and both the hotel and Ms. Yuan had their own opinions. Ms. Yuan thought that the hotel had mismanaged the three sheep and that the staff had kicked their huskies a little too much.
The hotel believes that the sheep is a pet belonging to the hotel, and the sheep were originally free-range in the hotel, and the staff kicked Ms. Yuan's husky in legitimate defense.
Of course, Ms. Yuan didn't buy this statement of the hotel, she thought that her own husky was a very rare breed, much more noble than the two sheep in the hotel.
So Ms. Yuan said that she could be responsible for the treatment of the sheep, and the hotel would also be responsible for all the treatment costs of its own husky.
However, the hotel did not agree with Ms. Yuan's point of view, and the two sides were at a stalemate and could not continue the negotiation, so Ms. Yuan chose to call the police.
After the police understood the whole story, they mediated between the two parties, and finally the hotel agreed to compensate Ms. Yuan 12,000 yuan and several hotel room vouchers.
Ms. Yuan said that although the compensation was cut in half, the result was still acceptable, but the hotel's negative attitude made her very dissatisfied, and she hoped that the hotel could correct it in the future.
At the end of the day, should the hotel really pay for it?
According to the provisions of the Tort Liability Law, the liability for harm caused by animals is divided into the following situations:
(1) If the animal is raised and causes damage to others, the animal keeper or manager shall bear the tort liability, but if it can be proved that the damage was caused by the infringed party's intention or gross negligence, the liability may be waived or reduced.
(2) If the animal violates the management regulations and fails to take safety measures for the animal and causes damage to others, the animal keeper or manager shall bear tort liability.
(3) If a dangerous animal such as a fierce dog that is prohibited from being raised causes damage to others, the animal keeper or manager shall bear tort liability.
(4) If an abandoned or escaped animal causes damage to others during the period of abandonment or escape, the original animal keeper or manager shall bear tort liability.
It should be noted that if the animal causes damage to others due to the fault of a third party, the victim may claim compensation from the animal keeper or manager, or from the third party. After the animal keeper or manager makes compensation, he or she has the right to recover compensation from a third party.
Therefore, in the matter between Ms. Yuan and the hotel, both parties have certain responsibilities, and the hotel should indeed compensate Ms. Yuan, but Ms. Yuan should also bear her own legal responsibility.
Through this matter, we must know that pet love can be understood, but also within the scope of the law to love their beloved pets, since the business in the society has set up their own unique service projects, it is necessary to improve all the management measures of the project, so that the people can truly enjoy the value of the service.
