Pet Insurance

These days it seems like there are insurance options for just about anything, including pets. I love the thought that my humans would not be burdened in case of an emergency, but my humans are not so sure about the benefit.

What do you think about the latest addition to the market? Let's hope the Florida sun has not fried the brains of the execs at this company:

Alien abduction insurance

Date: July 11th, 2014

The very first company to offer UFO abduction insurance was the St. Lawrence Agency in Altamonte Springs, Florida.

The company says that it has paid out at least two claims. The company pays the claimant $1 per year until their death or for 1 million years, whichever comes first.

Over 20,000 people have purchased the insurance. The insurance is normally purchased by the “feeble-minded”, according to a former Lloyd’s of London underwriter.

Prominent policyholders have included Shirley MacLaine and a Harvard University professor who has written on aliens.
