All The Lizards Stand And Say “Yes Yes Yes” : The Element Of Play In Legal Actions Against Animals And Inanimate Objects, Anna Pervukhin
All The Lizards Stand And Say “Yes Yes Yes” : The Element Of Play In Legal Actions Against Animals And Inanimate Objects, Anna Pervukhin
ExpressO
Legal actions against non-humans (whether animals or objects) were once widespread. They were viewed seriously and undoubtedly served important social functions. This article considers the possibility that some of these actions may have been playful as well. Certain aspects of legal actions against animals and objects-- occasional moments of levity, a preoccupation with formal rules, and a strong emphasis on imaginative transformation-- suggest that these actions had elements of play. The possibility is worth considering for two reasons. First, it may shed some light on a practice that has perplexed and disturbed commentators for centuries. Second, an examination of play …

When Animals Invade And Occupy: Physical Takings And The Endangered Species Act, Rebecca E. Harrison
When Animals Invade And Occupy: Physical Takings And The Endangered Species Act, Rebecca E. Harrison
Washington Law Review
Government actions implementing the Endangered Species Act (ESA) on private lands have sparked extensive debate and litigation over whether such actions result in Fifth Amendment takings. To date, courts have uniformly rejected regulatory takings claims under the ESA, leading several landowners to advance a different theory-physical takings claims. Successful physical takings claims require landowners to show that government actions resulted in either per se physical takings or compensable physical invasions of their land. In two recent decisions, Boise Cascade Corp. v. United States,/i> and Seiber v. United States, courts rejected per se physical takings claims under the ESA, finding …

The Least Of The Sentient Beings' And The Question Of Reduction, Refinement, And Replacement, Joseph Vining

The subject I was asked to think about with you today is raised by a very large change in the focus of biomedical research. In raw percentage terms, the animals involved in experimentation are now overwhelmingly rats and mice, and, perhaps because they are rats and mice, they are used in large numbers, numbers in thousands and tens of thousands at some institutions. Legal, ethical, and practical accommodation to this fact on the ground presents a host of questions. There are questions of the cost of care. There are questions of the training of veterinarians, principal investigators, and laboratory personnel. …

The Evolution Of Animal Law Since 1950, Steven M. Wise
The Evolution Of Animal Law Since 1950, Steven M. Wise
State of the Animals 2003
Over the last half century, the law has assumed an increasingly important place in animal protection even as it has begun to point in the direction of true legal rights for at least some nonhuman animals. In this chapter I briefly discuss five aspects of the law: anti-cruelty statutes; the necessity of obtaining standing to litigate on behalf of the interests of nonhuman animals; evolving protections for great apes; the movement toward legal rights for at least some nonhuman animals; and the state of legal education concerning animal protection.

The Historical And Contemporary Prosecution And Punishment Of Animals, Jen Girgen
The Historical And Contemporary Prosecution And Punishment Of Animals, Jen Girgen
Animal Law Review
This article analyzes the role of the animal “offender,” by examining the animal trials and executions of years past. The writer argues that although the formal prosecution of animals as practiced centuries ago may have ended (for the most part), we continue to punish animals for their “crimes” against human beings. She suggests that we do this primarily to achieve two ends: the restoration of order and the achievement of revenge, and concludes with a call for a renewed emphasis on “due process” for animals threatened with punishment for their offenses.
The Evolving Legal Status Of Chimpanzees
The Evolving Legal Status Of Chimpanzees
Animal Law Review
On September 30, 2002, Harvard Law School hosted a legal symposium sponsored by the Chimpanzee Collaboratory's Legal Committee. The symposium featured speakers with expertise on chimpanzees, as well as legal scholars and lawyers who discussed the possibility of obtaining legal rights for chimpanzees and other great apes. This symposium sought to advance the argument that chimpanzees are entitled to some degree of legal status, and the speakers presented a range of views about how far such legal rights should extend. These remarks reflect the connection between the growning scientific understanding of chimpanzees and the advances in related legal doctrines. This …
Restricting The Use Of Animal Traps In The United States: An Overview Of Laws And Strategy, Dena M. Jones, Sheila Hughes Rodriguez
Restricting The Use Of Animal Traps In The United States: An Overview Of Laws And Strategy, Dena M. Jones, Sheila Hughes Rodriguez
Animal Law Review
Enacting absolute bans on the use of trapping devices and on commerce in trapped animal products has been difficult. Nearly every state, however, has enacted some restrictions on who can trap, what animals can be trapped, where and when animals can be trapped, the type and size of permitted traps, and how often traps must be checked. This article summarizes past and potential approaches to curtail the use of traps in the U.S. at federal, state and local levels. The article also notes litigation related to trapping and trapping prohibitions.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Equine Cosmetic Crimes And Other Tails Of Woe, Sandra Tozzini
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Equine Cosmetic Crimes And Other Tails Of Woe, Sandra Tozzini
Animal Law Review
Many invasive procedures, including surgery, are performed on horses’ tails purely for cosmetic reasons. These procedures fall into a variety of categories from the arguably unethical to the undoubtedly criminal. Although criminal laws prohibiting certain cosmetic surgeries have been in existence for approximately one hundred years, they rarely have been enforced. This article reviews the current status of both American and international “anti-cosmetic” statutes, focusing on the constitutional problems that the current American statutes raise. The article proposes a model federal statute that is constitutionally sound, addresses all forms of cosmetic tail procedures, and provides a vehicle for enforcement.
A New Era In Humane Education: How Troubling Youth Trends And A Call For Character Education Are Breathing New Life Into Efforts To Educate Our Youth About The Value Of All Life, Lydia S. Antoncic
Animal Law Review
The purpose of education is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not. To ask questions of the universe, and then to learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity. But no society is really anxious to have that kind of person around. What societies really, ideally want is a citizenry which will simply obey the rules of society. …

Reaching For Justice: An Analysis Of Self-Help Prosecution For Animal Crimes, Jennifer H. Rackstraw
Animal Law Review
Although prosecutorial discretion is a firmly entrenched legal doctrine in the United States, such unbridled discretion impedes the vigorous and consistent prosecution of animal crimes. With an overwhelming incidence of animal cruelty and neglect crimes perpetrated in the United States every year, documented cases should not be passed over for prosecution due to a lack of empathy on the part of the prosecutor, a misplaced understanding of the seriousness of animal cruelty crimes, or a dearth of resources. To ensure that animal crimes are more vigorously and consistently prosecuted, citizens should take advantage of existing mechanisms that allow for public …

In The Line Of Fire: Brown V. Muhlenberg Township And The Reality Of Police Seizures Of Companion Animals, Denee A. Diluigi
Animal Law Review
Ms. DiLuigi addresses a companion animal owners’ rights under current law to bring and maintain an action for the unreasonable seizure of their companion animal by an officer as well as an action for the intentional infliction of emotional distress in light of the Third Circuit’s recent decision in Brown v. Muhlenberg Township. Applying various legal doctrines, Ms. DiLuigi also explores potential legal arguments for future litigation stemming from an officer’s execution of a companion animal.
Valuing Companion Animals In Wrongful Death Cases: A Survey Of Current Court And Legislative Action And A Suggestion For Valuing Pecuniary Loss Of Companionship, Elaine T. Byszewski
Valuing Companion Animals In Wrongful Death Cases: A Survey Of Current Court And Legislative Action And A Suggestion For Valuing Pecuniary Loss Of Companionship, Elaine T. Byszewski
Animal Law Review
Because it is exceedingly difficult to measure the value of “companionship” in determining damages for the loss of a companion animal in wrongful death cases, courts and legislatures have struggled to come up with a realistic method of assessment. This article suggests a straightforward “investment approach” to estimate the minimum pecuniary value, including companionship value, that human guardians place on their companion animals. Significantly, the investment approach provides a more accurate assessment of companion animal value, which serves tort system goals of efficient compensation for loss and deterrence of future harm to companion animals.

Biodiversity And Mom, John C. Nagle
Journal Articles
In December 1973, Congress enacted the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The law was the latest, and greatest, federal effort to prevent wildlife from becoming extinct. The members of Congress who voted for the law always mentioned bald eagles, grizzly bears, whooping cranes, alligators, and whales—the animals, in short, that today are most likely to be memorialized as Beanie Babies. They were also aware of the species that had already disappeared from the earth, such as the passenger pigeon and the great auk. Such images yielded an overwhelming vote in favor of the law. President Nixon signed it on December 28, …
