| Unfortunately we are living in a period where people are increasingly risk-averse, to an idiotic degree. It's not just with dogs: it's every damn thing. I have a friend who runs a riding school here in the UK and her insurance has shot through the roof in recent years because people these days seem not to accept that if you choose to go horse-riding then you must accept a small risk.
But the biggest killer and maimer of otherwise healthy people in the UK is car accidents and people still drive like maniacs so ... go figure!
We're developing cowardly societies in the Western world.
