vBoston.com / News / Local / Dog's family demands $740,000: "The family of Cassius, the dog killed by leaking electricity from an old NStar Electric lamppost site, said last night it had turned down an unspecified offer of 'comfort money' from NStar and is demanding $740,000 from the utility or it will sue. The family said it picked the dollar figure because it equals NStar chief executive Thomas J. May's annual salary."
I do wish to make light of a family's loss of a beloved pet, but ponder the paltry sums ($1,000-1,500 or so) paid in compensation--if anything is paid at all--to Iraqi civilians whose homes are inadvertently destroyed, or whose children are accidentially killed by a marine rifleman.
