Exploring The Role Of Nonhuman Animal Victims In Federal Environmental Crime Prosecutions, Melissa L. Jarrell, Joshua Ozmy 2021 Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi

Exploring The Role Of Nonhuman Animal Victims In Federal Environmental Crime Prosecutions, Melissa L. Jarrell, Joshua Ozmy

Animal Law Review

While nonhuman animals in the United States are often victimized directly or as a consequence of environmental crimes, little is known about them or the role their victimization plays in federal environmental crime prosecutions. Through content analysis of 2,588 of the Environmental Protection Agency's criminal prosecutions from 1983-2019, we identified cases where identifiable nonhuman animal victims play a central role in the prosecution. We developed a typology of victims and the consequences of their victimization, and we explored the geography, charging statutes, and penalties. Results suggest that victimization is infrequent, acute, and clusters around toxic discharges and pesticide abuse stemming …

Nonhuman Rights Or Protections: A Discussion Of The Functional Difference, If Any, Between Laws Providing Either Biocentric Rights Or Anthropocentric Protections For Nonhumans, Joel W. Glazer 2021 Temple University Beasley School of Law

Nonhuman Rights Or Protections: A Discussion Of The Functional Difference, If Any, Between Laws Providing Either Biocentric Rights Or Anthropocentric Protections For Nonhumans, Joel W. Glazer

Animal Law Review

This article will review examples of laws and judicial opinions that have granted rights to nonhumans, including the examples listed above, as well as a judicial opinion that grants protections, but not rights, to nonhumans. The analysis of these laws and judicial opinions is meant to answer the question of whether using the enchanted word "rights," as opposed to anthropocentric protections, confers a substantive benefit to nonhumans. Part II forms an analytical framework defining the procedural and substantive aspects of non-human rights. Part III applies that framework to judicial opinions from Argentina and the United States and analyzes whether there …


Can Sentience Recognition Protect Animals? Lessons From Québec's Animal Law Reform, Michael Lessard 2021 University of Toronto

Can Sentience Recognition Protect Animals? Lessons From Québec's Animal Law Reform, Michael Lessard

Animal Law Review

Academic literature needs to provide a better understanding of the legal recognition of animal sentience. This Article aims to help fill out this gap by diving into Que ́bec’s legal recognition of animal sentience in 2015. This Article draws three lessons from Que ́bec law’s recognition of animal sentience and biological needs. First, it argues that legal sentience recognition’s fate is to become more than symbolic and to receive normative force. Second, it contends that considering sentience protection as the sole instrument to prevent animal killing and exploitation is a mistake. This is so because respect for sentience is reduced …


Cetacean Cultural Rights: A Third Generation Of Rights At Sea, David Peña-Guzmán 2021 San Francisco State University

Cetacean Cultural Rights: A Third Generation Of Rights At Sea, David Peña-Guzmán

Animal Law Review

This Article discusses the cultural rights of cetaceans, as articulated in the 2010 Declaration on the Rights of Cetaceans. It argues that these rights qualify as "third-generation rights," meaning groups of cetaceans -- as opposed to individuals -- have the right to the protection of their respective cultures. The Article begins with an account of the history of third-generation rights in international human rights law. It then examines how the concept of third-generation rights can carry over into the animal rights movement. The article proposes three criteria for determining whether a group qualifies for third-generation rights. Then, it demonstrates that …


2020 Domestic Legislative Review, Tara Cooley 2021 Lewis & Clark Law School

2020 Domestic Legislative Review, Tara Cooley

Animal Law Review

The 116th Congress, second session, began January 3, 2020, and ended January 3, 2021. While Congress voted on key animal-related legislation, such as the Big Cat Public Safety Act, the COVID-19 pandemic slowed -- or even halted -- proposed legislation at the federal and state levels. Despite the slowdown, local voters proposed and enacted several key initiatives, including the California Ecosystems Protection Act and Orange County, Florida's Right to Clean Water initiative.9 In addition, federally enacted COVID-19-related legislation, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, also addressed animalrelated issues. The World Health Organization (WHO) labeled COVID-19 …


2020 Litigation Review, Isaac Conzatti 2021 Lewis & Clark Law School

2020 Litigation Review, Isaac Conzatti

Animal Law Review

This Litigation Review covers a varied selection of animal law related litigation that occurred in the year 2020. The coronavirus pandemic did not slow down the offenses or injustices committed against animals nor the litigation initiated on behalf of animals. While some animal-centered litigation experienced some setbacks in 2020, others sparked legislative initiatives to further protect the interests of animals. Some recent litigation highlights the need for more advocacy and legislation in order to overcome barriers imposed by lobbyists and other special interest groups. Other sections expose how pro-animal legislation has received challenges from opponents who seek to cripple protections …

Animal Sentience: History, Science, And Politics, Andrew N. Rowan, Joyce M. D'Silva, Ian J.H. Duncan, Nicholas Palmer

Animal Sentience

This target article has three parts. The first briefly reviews the thinking about nonhuman animals’ sentience in the Western canon: what we might know about their capacity for feeling, leading up to Bentham’s famous question “can they suffer?” The second part sketches the modern development of animal welfare science and the role that animal-sentience considerations have played therein. The third part describes the launching, by Compassion in World Farming, of efforts to incorporate animal sentience language into public policy and regulations concerning human treatment of animals.

Bullock V. United States Bureau Of Land Mgmt., Henry O'Brien 2020 Alexander Blewett III School of Law at the University of Montana

Bullock V. United States Bureau Of Land Mgmt., Henry O'Brien

Public Land & Resources Law Review

A Montana District Court ruled that William Perry Pendley unlawfully served as the Director of BLM for 424 days and cast doubt on the legality of many BLM decisions made during that period. The ruling took a stronger stand against the Trump administration’s liberal and brash use of acting appointees than other, similar cases have.
