The African Bushmeat Crisis: A Case For Global Partnership, Andrew Elliott Kohn, Heather E. Eves
The African Bushmeat Crisis: A Case For Global Partnership, Andrew Elliott Kohn, Heather E. Eves
ExpressO
Across Central Africa a commercial, unsustainable, and largely illegal hunting and trade in wildlife for meat has expanded in recent years causing immediate threat to countless wildlife populations and species. Currently, multi-national agreements and government initiatives created to address the bushmeat crisis in the region are unable to halt the extensive destruction to the area’s unique biodiversity . Although many of these agreements strongly support addressing the bushmeat crisis, they lack the resources and capacity to be fully implemented. Strong U.S. engagement in a global partnership, arising from intensive, complete, and wide-ranging bipartisan commitment would greatly enhance existing international biodiversity …
Not A Living Room Sofa: Changing The Legal Status Of Companion Animals, Susan J. Hankin
Not A Living Room Sofa: Changing The Legal Status Of Companion Animals, Susan J. Hankin
ExpressO
Although the law has traditionally treated non-human animals as property, public attitudes and many of our current laws already are beginning reflect many ways in which animals, and especially companion animals, are fundamentally different from inanimate property. Despite these trends, the differences between animals and inanimate property need to be more clearly reflected in our laws, because there are still too many cases where the results under current laws are inconsistent with this understanding of companion animals.
This article proposes the legislative creation of a new status that formally recognizes companion animals as a distinct legal category: “companion animal property.” …

Mediating Animal Law Matters, Kathy M. Hessler
ExpressO
Animal law matters are slowly making their way through our court system, resulting in some changes in the way we, as a society, view our relationships with non-human animals. Courts are increasingly struggling to reconcile two opposing constructs: the idea that non-human animals are property under the law, and the reality that non-human animals are different from other forms of property. Progress in resolving this tension within the courts is, and will continue to be, slow. The question then arises, what alternative exists?
Mediation is a method increasingly turned to in this country as an alternative to traditional litigation. It …

Rescue Me: Legislating Cooperation Between Animal Control Authorities And Rescue Organizations, Rebecca J. Huss
Rescue Me: Legislating Cooperation Between Animal Control Authorities And Rescue Organizations, Rebecca J. Huss
ExpressO
The leading cause of death for dogs and cats in the United States is euthanasia because of the lack of homes. Although progress has been made, conservative estimates are that between three and four million dogs and cats are euthanized each year. A successful program for implementing non-lethal strategies to control the pet population incorporates three prongs: (a) increasing adoptions, (d) increasing the number of animals sterilized and (c) increasing the number of animals retained in homes. This Article focuses on the legislative actions that should be taken immediately to implement these non-lethal strategies so that this needless euthanization can …
