Homeowners and renters who own certain breeds of dogs are being dropped by Insurance companies like Allstate and Farmers. They are refusing to write homeowners' policies for the following breeds:
Chows, Dobermans, American Pit Bulls, Alaskan Malamutes, Huskys, Akitas, and German Shepards. Other breeds are also included on the "vicious breed" list.
Homeowners and renters are fighting back-nine states have bills pending that would prevent insurance companies from banning dog owners their right to be covered just because they own a certain breed of dog!
Dog owners are righteously complaining that their beloved family pet may be on the "vicious breed" list but their dog is a sweet natured member of the family who wouldn't hurt anyone.
This clearly is discrimination based on fear and ignorance. Shame on the insurance companies practicing this rediculous policy of judge and convict first, explain later.
