Actors are promoting themselves<\/a> for casting. Even Lisa Frank<\/a> contributed to the meme frenzy. To say Netflix\u2019s Tiger King<\/em> has captivated viewers is an understatement; 34 million people<\/a> binged the show in the first ten days. The documentary series follows a gun-toting, profanity-spouting, gay, polygamist zoo owner, Joe Exotic, who allegedly attempted to hire a hitman to kill his animal rights activist nemesis. Yet the series covers more than murder-for-hire, spending some time on exotic pet ownership and laws.<\/p>\n

One of the show\u2019s most harrowing incidents demonstrates a staff member at the zoo lose an arm to a caged tiger. Remarkably, he returns to work a day after having the arm amputated. The accident reveals not only the inherent danger of working with wild animals, but also the inherent liability.<\/p>\n

Yet even for owners of domesticated animals, awareness of the law is important to avoid liability. Your little cat might not be capable of clawing off someone\u2019s arm, but if it has a history of violent behavior and severely injures someone, you might face a lawsuit. \u00a0More common, and more often the grounds for legal action, are dog bites. \u00a0Arizona is a strict liability state<\/a>, which means regardless of if your dog has shown viciousness before, you can be held responsible if it bites someone, or even if it attacks another pet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While many of us were captivated by Tiger King<\/em> because of its glimpse into a bizarre world of tigers, murder, and mayhem, we assume the danger is beyond us. That\u2019s only true to a certain extent. The CDC and Arizona Department of Health Services<\/a> state that \u201csome [experts] estimate that there is a 50 percent chance of being bitten by a domestic animal during a lifetime, of which dog bites account for 80-90 percent.\u201d Every year, 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs.<\/p>\n

The attorneys at Perez Law Group, PLLC, have successfully represented dog-bite victims who were injured.\u00a0 Call Perez Law Group, PLLC today if you were bitten by a dog or injured by someone else\u2019s pet: (602) 730-7100 or (866) 59-PEREZ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
