Filing Time Question on Dogs Killing Swine
Charles Thompson of Hazel Green township seeks $43 for four dogs killed after being attacked. The Delaware county board weighs whether claims must be filed within 10 days of injury or within 10 days after the animals’ death, a dispute over timing and eligibility under the domestic animals statute. The board has previously denied similar late filings, but Thompson argues damages could only be determined after death, with payments made from the county dog tax fund in January.
