15. Someone or someTHING ...

... dogs (as pets) are considered property, so if a loose dog attacks & kills my dog, I should at least be eligible for 'property' damage (vet bills? 'funeral' services?) ... or if they're roaming and kill livestock or chickens etc ....

Honestly I'd prefer if dogs (as pets) were considered the same as humans in the cases of murder/attack/neglect etc -- too many cases of cruelty, police dogs being shot/killed - and the only thing the perps can be charged with are basically equal to property crimes.
