spoon059 why would you even have dogs that bark viciously and bite. Sounds like a lawsuit about to happen. Being aggressive is not really a solution. C'mon these are campsites.
How is this a lawsuit? If it is clearly posted in the rules and I am outside with my dog on a site that I paid for and someone violates the rules and gets bitten, that is on them. Same as if they come to my house and walk into the back yard where my dogs are contained by an electric fence and get bitten.
Come on to my property (if I pay for the site, it is MY property at that time) and into my dog's space, that is YOUR liability.
If you don't like it, you can avoid walking through my site. JaxDad... that applies to you too =)
In a common sense reality, you might be correct. In our reality, the law also protects the criminals and the criminally stupid. If someone climbed over YOUR fence on YOUR property, trip and fall in the hole you have dug up in the yard, the trespasser can sue you and win. It makes no difference that they are trespassing, you can still be held liable for any injuries they sustain, even if they're trying to break into your home. Is it right to protect the criminals? I don't think so, but the law is the law. And AFAIK, that applies in MOST areas, but maybe not all.
