Say, is that a policy in your pouch?

While we've blogged on the general topic of pet insurance before, this item really jumped out:

"An anonymous donor has purchased a $50,000 insurance policy to help an Oklahoma woman keep her pet kangaroo as a therapy pet. "

It's not really "pet insurance" per se: rather, it's a liability policy required by a yet-to-be-enacted local ordinance pertaining to the keeping of "exotic pets." It's similar to those required by landlords concerned about (for example) pit bulls and the like. The idea is that these animals may pose a more existential threat to others than the family goldfish or poodle.

The article's a little sensational: I doubt very much that the $50,000 referred to the premium; more likely, that's the policy limits, and the premium is a small fraction of that. We'd appreciate any input from our P&C-type readers on that score.

Regardless, it's still a generous and thoughtful gesture, and a great example of insurance as risk management tool.

Rebirth

Easter for Christians is a time of rebirth. For others it is just another day.

The commercialization of Easter is akin to Christmas. Perhaps it is me, but it seems Christian holidays are becoming secular events while holidays (or holy days) in other religions are not.

Easter is historically a pagan event. Eggs, lilies, bunnies and chicks associated with Easter have their roots in pagan celebrations but each, except for the bunny, also have meaning to Christians.

While not recorded in the Bible, some stories say Mary offered eggs to the Roman soldiers in exchange for mercy on her son.

Lilies that bloom in the spring are symbolic of new life and rebirth.

The Easter chicks that were once popular as gifts for children are also a symbol of new life.

The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus gives us our foundation in the Christian faith.

Beyond the bunnies, baskets filled with eggs and candy, and Easter dresses and suits is an event that forever shaped the lives of millions who would follow.

Peace.
