AnimalCourts.com was developed as result of Dr. Taylor’s unique educational background, his specialized training, and decades long work in the legal profession.
AnimalCourts.com was developed by Dr. Taylor for two main purposes: First, this course offers an educational alternative to animal and pet related criminal violations. These criminal violations and cases are traditionally resolved by imposing fines, fees, probation, and jail time. The United States Supreme Court and Department of Justice, however, instruct courts to strongly consider alternatives to traditional penalties when resolving criminal cases. AnimalCourts.com provides individuals, judges, and prosecutors an alternative to such traditional, and often ineffective, penalties. AnimalCourts.com affords an opportunity to resolve animal and pet related criminal cases by educating violators. Ask the court or prosecutor if this class is an option in your case. A court may allow the AnimalCourts.com class to be the only condition needed to resolve a case, or it can be ordered as an additional requirement if the case warrants other penalties. AnimalCourts.com can be used the same way a defensive driving class is used to resolve traffic tickets. That’s why we at AnimalCourts.com say that it is:
The second reason Dr. Taylor developed AnimalCourts.com is to provide homeowners and renters a way to reduce insurance costs, and to enable insurance companies a way to reduce the risks and liabilities associated with insuring households with pets and animals. In 2019, dog bites and related injuries alone accounted for one-third of all homeowners’ insurance claims costing more than $796.8 million. That cost is astronomical!
Many, if not most, of the claims could have been avoided. Unfortunately, policyholders and insurance companies did not have ready and easy access to important, preventative information. AnimalCourts.com provides policyholders and insurance companies the ready and easily accessible information that could result in the reduction, if not near elimination, of such astronomical claims costs. Ask your insurance company representative or agent if you can receive a premium discount for completing the AnimalCourts.com class. You and your insurance company may benefit from taking the AnimalCourts.com class the same way drivers and car insurance companies both benefit from drivers taking a defensive driving class. That’s why we at AnimalCourts.com say that it is:
