Ohio has strict laws regarding this type of thing, stating basically,  the owner has committed the act that the animal did. The animals owner is liable whether it occurred in public or in his home. Hes also liable even if the dog had never acted like that prior or ever been aggressive, regardless of wheter the owner thought the dog would act that way. The dog does nto get a free bite. the only defense for the animal is if the injured party had provoked the animal.

Also, the old common law approach is also available for injured plaintiffs. Under the traditional approach, if the owner is aware or has reason to be aware of the dog’s violent propensities, the owner of the dog is liable for injuries caused by the dog.

Varenicline, is a drug marketed to help smokers quit, it may also  help get rid of the desire to drink. New studies indicate alcoholic rats cut their drinking in half when on the drug.

18 rats were conditioned  to become addicted to alcohol over a 4 month period. the researchers would let the rats drink all day and then at night take the alcohol away from the rats.Withdrawal made the rats drink more and more when it was available, and so would drink more and more.

After months of ninge drinking the drug still cut their alcohol intake in half. And after taken it and then discontinuing the drug  the rats were not as inclined to drink alcohol.

One researcher believes that instead of the drug replacing the urges, varenicline is “turning down the reward system”.

McGinn County authorities were handling the case, but the DA has asked the state to step in.

After the accident occurred Smith was transported to the hospital by helicopter.

Alicia’s friends said he and her were hitching a ride in a Honda Civic, but Ms Smith rode on the trunk. When Alicia fell, the driver took off. His identity is unknown.

My thoughts are like, wow, why would you ride on the trunk, and more importantly, did the driver speed up perhaps to toy with her, to hear her scream? Then at the very least its manslaughter.
