In Maryland, lawsuits for the death of a pet are limited to $7,500 last I checked. I think it is completely insane. The damages should be whatever the fair market value of the animal is.

Of course, livestock is not included in the definition of "pet" which consists of any domesticated animal, but not livestock.

I know I wouldn't be happy with $7,500 in exchange for Nitro.

About the only way Diamond can get out of liability on this one is if they can show that somebody did something to the dog food once it left the factory/plant. Of course, if entire batches are coming back with this problem, they are out of luck.
