Man not insured for failure to use karate on dogs

An insurance firm in China has told a man bitten by two dogs it was his own fault for not learning karate.

Wang Zhiqing of Meishan needed stitches in his hand and a rabies jab after being attacked by wild dogs.

But when he filed a claim, the China Pacific Insurance Group said: ‘You should have fought the dogs off.

‘If you had learned a martial art like karate you would have avoided the problem.’
