Living Property: A New Status for Animals Within the Legal System

The Development of Anti-Cruelty Laws During the 1800s

Animal Law and Dog Behavior" gives all the information you need to decide what courses of action are possible and appropriate. A veritable refresher course on the legal matrix concerning animals, it focuses on the species most troublesome to individuals and the legal system: dogs. With up-to-date information on the current state of the law, most cases examined are lower-court opinions from 1960 to the present. Well reasoned and analyzed, they may be used to draw together the national outlook on a particular issue. In areas where state statutes play a predominant role in articulating the law, the authors have selected regional states whose statutes are most representative of these areas. As animals become an increasingly important part of our lives, disputes between people about animals and conflicts between people and animals are likely to increase. For this reason, it is especially important for attorneys to understand which behaviors are considered normal and abnormal.
