I don’t doubt the hurt those folks feel is very real.

But I have trouble thinking that opening the legal system to “sentimental value” lawsuits is going to do anything other than just introduce a lot of lawsuits…

> Every single person who’s called me about wanting to sue because their dog was killed did not care about the money. They wanted to send a message. They want to vindicate their beloved pet. They don’t want this person to get off scot-free. They want some kind of justice.

So it would be a legal cost for everyone and nobody suing really wants the money.
