Namwon-si Encourages and Promotes Mandatory Enrollment in Dangerous Dog Insurance

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Namwon City, Jeonbuk, is focusing on promoting the mandatory enrollment in dangerous dog insurance to owners of dangerous dogs within the jurisdiction following the obligation to subscribe to dangerous dog insurance.

According to Namwon City on the 17th, the enrollment in dangerous dog liability insurance has been mandatory since the 12th.

Dangerous dogs include Dosajeon, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and Rottweiler.

Dangerous dog insurance is a legally required insurance, so subscribing to general liability insurance (a similar insurance) does not exempt owners from the obligation to enroll. Also, dangerous dog insurance cannot be subscribed to for dogs that are not classified as dangerous dogs.

If the owner of a dangerous dog does not subscribe to the insurance, a fine of up to 3 million won may be imposed, requiring special caution.

A city official said, "We ask that owners of dangerous dogs must subscribe to dangerous dog insurance, which is the minimum device to quickly compensate victims who suffer death or injury accidents caused by dangerous dogs and to distribute the risk for the owners."
