Sensitizing Humans To Fish Sentience, Kelly Levenda

Animal Sentience

Although fish can feel pain and suffer, they are not often protected legally. Jonathan Balcombe’s What a Fish Knows provides a timely and important contribution to the literature on animal cognition and sentience. By explaining their personalities and capabilities, Balcombe brings much needed public attention to fish and advances the principle that they need and deserve protection.

Never Enough: Animal Hoarding Law, Courtney G. Lee

University of Baltimore Law Review

Animal hoarding, a disorder that causes sufferers to acquire animals compulsively despite the inability or unwillingness to provide them with adequate care, is a widespread, costly, often underestimated problem that causes more animal suffering than all acts of intentional cruelty combined. Not only are animals harmed, but humans are as well, from dependents that live with hoarders to members of the surrounding communities to the hoarders themselves. Current laws do not address the issue effectively, and recidivism rates are close to 100%. This Article seeks to increase awareness of the animal hoarding problem and offers suggestions as to how the …

A Bird In The Hand: Shotguns, Deadly Oil Pits, Cute Kittens, And The Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Samuel J. Panarella

Faculty Law Review Articles

This Article is presented in three parts. Part I describes the modern application (and misapplication) of the MBTA and briefly sets out the history of the Act, including the widespread, indiscriminate killing of migratory birds for food and fashion in the 19th century that first spurred Congress to act. Building off this history and the clear Congressional intent behind the MBTA to criminalize industrial activities directed at killing birds, Part II sorts human-caused bird killing activities into three categories and proposes the appropriate MBTA liability treatment for each category based both on the original purpose of the Act and on …

From Inside The Cage To Outside The Box: Natural Resources As A Platform For Nonhuman Animal Personhood In The U.S. And Australia, Randall S. Abate, Jonathan Crowe

Journal Publications

Nonhuman animals are currently treated as property under U.S. and Australian law, leaving them open to various kinds of exploitation. There has been a gradual evolution away from this property paradigm in both countries, but significant work remains to ensure that nonhuman animals are afforded adequate legal protections. This article considers the legal avenues available to protect nonhuman animals in the U.S. and Australia, focusing particularly on the attribution of legal personhood. Section 2 of the article reviews attempts by the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) to establish legal personhood protections for nonhuman animals through writ of habeas corpus petitions under …

Telling Tails: The Promises And Pitfalls Of Language And Narratives In Animal Advocacy Efforts, Angela Lee

Animal Law Review

Using a feminist theoretical perspective and drawing on exam­ples from Canada and the United States, this Article considers the promises and pitfalls of language and narrative in the con­text of animal advocacy efforts. Because the animal advocacy movement faces an uphill battle on a number of fronts, leverag­ing language and narrative more conscientiously can help en­hance its success. Elucidating the equivocal nature of the premises on which our current social and legal conceptualiza­tion of nonhuman animals lies can prompt a shift in the domi­nant modes of thjnking about nonhuman animals, thereby stimulating meaningful change in their treatment. However, it is …

"Three Hots And A Cot And A Lot Of Talk": Discussing Federal Rights-Based Avenues For Prisoner Access To Vegan Meals, David B. Rosengard

Animal Law Review

First, this Article discusses the scope of relevant religious free exercise jurisprudence-and its utility for prisoners who are vegan for religious reasons. Second, this Article explores the extent to which an equal protection approach may provide vegan prisoners with a viable route to securing appropriate meals. Third, this Article discusses …

A Dog Is Not A Stereo: The Role Of Animal Sentience In Determining The Scope Of Owner Privacy Interests Under Oregon Law, Lora Dunn, David B. Rosengard

Animal Law Review

In 2011, a relatively routine animal neglect investigation spawned a line of litigation that would eventually reach the Or­egon Supreme Court. Along the way, this case-State v. New­comb-raised issues central to both constitutional and animal law, involving inquiry into how animals are situated under the law, the \.Veight of a defendant's privacy versus an animal's in­terests, and what relevance attaches to animals existing as feel­ing, sentient creatures. In analyzing Newcomb, this Comment discusses the case facts in Part I, before laying out the argu­ments heard-and decisions rendered-by the trial and appel­late courts in Part II. Part III reads the Oregon …
