Webster says she continues to suffer from post-traumatic stress, loss of enjoyment of life and loss of past and future earnings.

Because her cat died, she'll never be able to work again?

You know, I loved my Murphy-dog, and I was devastated when he died. But it never occurred to me to sue the dog warden and the county for selling me a dog with a neurological disorder, nor did it ever occur to me that I would never enjoy life or be able to work again. Maybe I should give it a try?

That there might not be enough vouchers to go 'round, fair enough, but nobody really knows how much these things will cost? Gimme a break. They're already down to 40-60, be that for sat, cable, or OTA decoding.
