Justice In Colorado: Achieving Animal Plaintiffhood Through The State's Common Law, Mason Liddell
Justice In Colorado: Achieving Animal Plaintiffhood Through The State's Common Law, Mason Liddell
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
The common law of Colorado embraces all of the premises necessary to conclude that non-human animals are legal persons who may bring suits on their own behalf. All that is necessary is for a case to bring those premises together. The state endorses a Hohfeldian understanding of rights and duties, meaning the two concepts are necessarily corollaries. So, humans’ existing statutory duty to avoid being cruel to animals entails that those same animals have a right to be free from cruelty under state statute. Then, premised on a long line of legal philosophy and the state’s understanding of “legal personhood,” …

Does History Repeat Itself? Analyzing Montana's 2023 Draft Wolf Management Plan In Light Of Historical Misconceptions Of Wolves, Katelyn Jones
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
This Note intends to argue that Montana’s Draft Wolf Management Plan, when compared to other states’ plans, particularly Wisconsin’s, is inadequate because it contains many indicators of the antiquated societal bias that has plagued the wolf’s reputation for centuries. Part I begins with a historical overview of wolf hysteria and controversy beginning in Europe and extending to colonial America. Included in Part I is a specific focus on the treatment of wolves in Yellowstone and Montana during the early 1900s. Part I ends with an overview of the reintroduction of wolves into the [Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem] GYE and the success …
It Takes Two: Cites, Illegal Wildlife Trade, And Importing Country Accountability, Erica Lyman
It Takes Two: Cites, Illegal Wildlife Trade, And Importing Country Accountability, Erica Lyman
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
This Article proposes that the CITES [Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora] compliance mechanism is fit-for-purpose in its design but its application is biased against source countries and ignores consumer countries both as drivers of illegal wildlife trade and as noncompliant actors. Bringing a justice-based sensibility to the application of the CITES compliance process requires a whole-of-supply-chain analysis and, drawing on the core relational foundations of the treaty, an international perspective, to identity the root causes of non-compliance that allow illegal trade to fester. Ultimately, the compliance mechanism must gel with the machinery and …
"Very Complex Questions": Zoos, Animals, And The Law, Dana Mirsky
"Very Complex Questions": Zoos, Animals, And The Law, Dana Mirsky
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
In Sulawesi, Indonesia—forty-five thousand years ago, an artist painted what is now the world’s oldest known cave painting—a life-size image of a wild pig. Forty thousand years later, the elite of Hierakonpolis, Egypt, housed elephants, hippos, and baboons in the world’s oldest known zoo. Today, individuals keep exotic fish, reptiles, and birds as pets while zoos and aquariums display some of the largest and rarest animals on the planet. The human fascination with wild animals is clearly not a new phenomenon, but how and why we keep wild animals have evolved over time. Zoos in particular have changed dramatically just …
Coordinating Nhpa And Nepa To Protect Wildlife, Tala Dibenedetto
Coordinating Nhpa And Nepa To Protect Wildlife, Tala Dibenedetto
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
In addition to its ecological and intrinsic significance, wildlife is recognized as invaluable historic and cultural resources. Current laws protecting wildlife, like the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), fail to recognize this dimension, and are limited in providing meaningful protection for culturally significant wildlife. The cultural and historic value of wildlife was recognized in Dugong v. Rumsfeld, in which the court held that a species of dugong could be considered “historic property” under the National Historic Preservation Act (“NHPA”). NHPA requires federal agencies to evaluate the impact of all federally funded or permitted projects on “historic properties.” It is a close …
