The Entitlement Of Chimpanzees To The Common Law Writs Of Habeas Corpus And De Homine Replegiando, Steven M. Wise
The Entitlement Of Chimpanzees To The Common Law Writs Of Habeas Corpus And De Homine Replegiando, Steven M. Wise
Golden Gate University Law Review

Live Free Or Die: On Their Own Terms: Bringing Animal-Rights Philosophy Down To Earth By Lee Hall, Joel Marks
Animal Law Review

With that theory in mind, Hall outlines ideas about how humans are obligated to treat both wild and domestic animals. Hall first argues that the rights of wild animals require that humans let them alone. Yet, despite the fact that domestic animals lack rights under Hall’s theory, Hall argues that humans are required to care for them because it is humans who brought them …
