Too Much Of A Good Thing? Public Access To Medical Research After Paws V. U.W., Russell K. Yoshinaka

Washington Law Review

In Progressive Animal Welfare Society v. University of Washington, the Washington State Supreme Court held that Washington's Public Disclosure Act mandated public access to unfunded medical research grant proposals submitted by researchers to public institutions within the state. This holding conflicts with federal policy and the current national standard of maintaining full confidentiality of research grant proposals until after research actually is funded. This Note examines the harmful impact that this decision will have on medical research conducted in Washington and the implications for Washington's biotechnology industry. It recommends that both the Washington legislature and Congress act to ensure that …

Do Animal Protection Laws Dupe The Public?, Henry Spira

Farm Animal Campaign

As outlined by Wolfson, laws give the perception of protecting farm animals but, in reality, provide little or no protection. Federal law fails to provide any protection to farm animals on the farm. Moreover, while many state cruelty laws still cover farm animals in theory, they are rarely if ever applied. And most disconcerting is the trend of farm animals being increasingly excluded from the reach of state cruelty laws.

Shifting policy objectives and management approaches for the public lands of the West are provoking heated debate about how these decisions should be made and implemented. Are these policy directions a reflection of the "New West" or are they, in fact, a declaration of "war on the West"? Somewhere between these polarities of view, efforts are underway to open dialogue and reach consensus.

This second annual western lands conference will explore federal initiatives …

Worms, Mice, Cows And Pigs: The Importance Of Animal Patents In Developing Countries, Elisabeth T. Jozwiak

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Transgenic animals play a large role in several critical industries: the pharmaceutical industry, the agricultural industry, farming, and medical research. As these biotechnology-oriented industries have grown, the United States and other industrialized nations have realized the importance of patent protection for genetically-engineered animals. Unfortunately, lesser-developed countries (LDCs), which can benefit the most from such industries, do not provide adequate patent protection for transgenic animals, even though patent protection for transgenic animals could ultimately lead to reduction in starvation and disease, two of the biggest problems facing many LDCs. The United States should pursue bilateral negotiations with developing countries in the …

Is The Death Knell Sounding For Animal Rights - The Sacrifice Of Animals For Religious Purposes Under The Guise Of The First Amendment Right To The Free Exercise Of Religion, Mercedes A. Sanchez

St. Thomas Law Review

As a result of several Supreme Court decisions and a recent legislative enactment, it has become increasingly more difficult to protect animal rights through legislation. This is particularly true when the legislation is challenged as unduly encroaching upon the free exercise of religion. This comment questions the Court's most recent application of the strict scrutiny standard in free exercise challenges which effectively swept away the rights of animals. First, this comment discusses the evolution of animal legal rights. Next, this comment provides an overview of free exercise jurisprudence with particular emphasis on the test articulated in Employment Division, Department of …
