Center For Biological Diversity V. Zinke, Ryan Hickey
Center For Biological Diversity V. Zinke, Ryan Hickey
Public Land & Resources Law Review
The oft-cited “arbitrary and capricious” standard revived the Center for Biological Diversity’s most recent legal challenge in its decades-long quest to see arctic grayling listed under the Endangered Species Act. While this Ninth Circuit decision did not grant grayling ESA protections, it did require the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to reconsider its 2014 finding that listing grayling as threatened or endangered was unwarranted. In doing so, the court found “range,” as used in the ESA, vague while endorsing the FWS’s 2014 clarification of that term. Finally, this holding identified specific shortcomings of the challenged FWS finding, highlighting how …
Friends Of Animals V. United States Fish & Wildlife Service, Bradley E. Tinker
Friends Of Animals V. United States Fish & Wildlife Service, Bradley E. Tinker
Public Land & Resources Law Review
In Friends of Animals v. United States Fish & Wildlife Service, the Ninth Circuit held that the plain language of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act allows for the removal of one species of bird to benefit another species. Friends of Animals argued that the Service’s experiment permitting the taking of one species––the barred owl––to advance the conservation of a different species––the northern spotted owl––violated the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The court, however, found that the Act delegates broad implementing discretion to the Secretary of the Interior, and neither the Act nor the underlying international conventions limit the taking of …

Veterinary Lien Laws: Hypocrisy In A Healing Profession, Mark I. Weinstein
Veterinary Lien Laws: Hypocrisy In A Healing Profession, Mark I. Weinstein
Animal Law Review
This Article discusses the problem of veterinary lien laws that treat companion animals as inanimate objects, in a modern society that often views pets as members of the family. Historically, pets, like automobiles, were subject to possessory liens. If an automobile owner couldn’t pay the repair bill, the mechanic could keep possession of the car or sell the car to recoup costs. Veterinary lien laws treat companion animals in a similar fashion. If the owner cannot not pay the veterinary bill in full, the veterinarian is often permitted to keep possession of the companion animal until the bill is paid. …
The Black Man’S Dog: The Social Context Of Breed Specific Legislation, Ann Linder
The Black Man’S Dog: The Social Context Of Breed Specific Legislation, Ann Linder
Animal Law Review
Hundreds of communities throughout the United States have imposed breed-specific dog laws that prohibit ‘pit bulls’ in the name of public safety. This Article examines the relationship between pit bulls and people of color incorporating new research to argue that these laws may be rooted in racial bias. In such instances, breed-specific bans function as a means of keeping minorities out of majority-white neighborhoods. Finally,

6,083 Dogs Shot And Killed: The Unknown Puppycide Epidemic In America, Genette Gaffney
6,083 Dogs Shot And Killed: The Unknown Puppycide Epidemic In America, Genette Gaffney
Animal Law Review
Wrongful police killings of companion dogs is gaining attention on local and national levels. Efforts to hold officers accountable are often stalled by a qualified immunity provided to officers under the Fourth Amendment and the lack of state laws and policies providing protection to domesticated animals. This article examines case law on qualified immunity—and state statutes offering canine protection—and suggests different policies that may be implemented to afford better protection to our pets and citizens. Part I provides a brief background on why dog shootings persist and provides examples of dogs shot and killed by police. Part II discusses and …
'Ruff' Justice: Canine Cases And Judicial Law Making As An Instrument Of Change, Richard Jochelson, James Gacek
'Ruff' Justice: Canine Cases And Judicial Law Making As An Instrument Of Change, Richard Jochelson, James Gacek
Animal Law Review
The regulation of animals in North America should be apprised of evolving socialities. As the judiciary encounters situations of contestation between humans and animals in adjudication, it should take notice of the emergence of animal recognition in Western societies. Law is apprised of sociality, can absorb social information, and may, at times, reflect how citizens view issues of justice. What was once innocent behavior can be reconstituted as criminal through the adjudicative exercise (and vice versa). In this Paper, we investigate socio-legal constructions of ‘the animal’ in two recent North American adjudications. In two recent cases, R. v. D.L.W. and …
The Endangered Species Act As Applied To Captive Animals: Sea Shepherd Legal's Amicus Brief In Peta V. Miami Seaquarium, Sea Shepherd Legal
The Endangered Species Act As Applied To Captive Animals: Sea Shepherd Legal's Amicus Brief In Peta V. Miami Seaquarium, Sea Shepherd Legal
Animal Law Review
This Article contains Sea Shepherd Legal’s (SSL) amicus brief in the matter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals v. Miami Seaquarium, an ongoing litigation concerning the captive orca known as “Lolita.” SSL filed this brief for two reasons. First, the conditions under which Lolita is held are at once particularly illegal and immoral. Lolita’s conditions of captivity violate both the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), all while imposing continuous harm on a highly intelligent being in the name of entertainment. Second, the decision in this case frustrates the logic of the underlying laws. …
Animals In Transport Languish As Twenty-Eight Hour Law Goes Off The Rails, Michelle Pawliger, Dena Jones
Animals In Transport Languish As Twenty-Eight Hour Law Goes Off The Rails, Michelle Pawliger, Dena Jones
Animal Law Review
This Article seeks to identify how the U.S. Twenty-Eight Hour Law, requiring feeding, water, and rest for specific animals being transported after twenty-eight hours of travel, is not being adequately enforced by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or United States Department of Transportation (DOT). In this Article, AWI first establishes the legal background of the Twenty-Eight Hour Law and subsequent regulations implemented by the USDA and DOT. Next, AWI discusses the recent history of the law’s implementation, or lack thereof, by these Departments and enforcement protocol of the Investigative and Enforcement Services for the Animal and Plant Health Inspection …

Animals As Living Accommodations, Ani B. Satz
Animal Law Review
This is the first symposium published in a law journal about using nonhuman animals as “living accommodations” for individuals with disabilities.

This program was co-sponsored by the Sections on Disability Law and Law and Mental Disability.
Frankly My Dear, I Don’T Want A Dam: Refocusing Dam Removal Priorities To Protect Endangered Salmon Now, Skylar Sumner
Frankly My Dear, I Don’T Want A Dam: Refocusing Dam Removal Priorities To Protect Endangered Salmon Now, Skylar Sumner
Animal Law Review
Dams are a critical threat to salmon habitat and population recovery. While much progress has been made in the past few years with dam removal, the more quickly dams are removed, the greater chance that salmon can be restored to their historic ranges. In the Pacific Northwest, dams are a particular threat to salmon. Many regulatory tools can be used to bring dams into compliance, but there is often much resistance to these efforts. This Essay proposes that by targeting dilapidated private dams opposed to functional ones on public land, compliance or removal will be achieved with less resistance and …
