I SO would have sued the irresponsible, childish, stupid fuck obeast!

Your story further proves that fats are overgrown children, better still, their obesity makes them look like children with no defining features.

From what I understand, it is pretty much impossible to sue people in Germany. One of the reasons why it's so easy to in the states is because you have to cover your healthcare costs. In Germany it is covered by the insurance everyone pays.

They're not in Germany. The USCA is the United Shutzhund Club of America; Shutzhund is just the name of the type of training/sport.

Sueing to get damages over emotional distress in Germany, or the Benelux is actually very easy. Getting it is the hard part. You have to keep in mind however, that damages in Europe, and especially Northern-Europe, are very very low. For something like this, potentially fatal, do not expect to get much over €250 if that.

Some examples: my cousin got a ceasarian without proper anesthesia, they cut her open while she felt every bit. She got a really massive €750 out of it. My upstairs neighbour got his head smashed by a drunk driver, professor in economics, he will never work again, the insurance made a really big deal out of having to pay a court-ordered €5000 (potential wages and emotional distress), 6 years on they paid half. Haggling to get it down, because a 50 million turnover company cannot pay it. Tax service did demand and get their cash already.

And what of emotional trauma and suffering? Doubtful any kind of counselling needed after a traumatic event is covered on public healthcare.
