Practice Area Spotlight: Pet Law
0 comments
If you own a pet, you might be surprised to learn that pets are commonly dealt with in the same manner as property, as they are considered to be the owner’s possession rather than an independent being with rights. Thus, for example, in considering how to proceed with a scenario arising from pet food poisoning, the cause of action arises out of the damage done to the owner’s property, rather than arising out of food poisoning such as that contracted by a human.
Aside from these property right considerations, the following is a list of some typical areas of the law pet owners might deal with:
- Animal Burial Restrictions
- Animal Cruelty
- Animal Welfare Act
- Buying and Selling Dogs
- Dangerous Dogs
- Dog Bites
- Euthanasia
- Lost and Found Dogs
- Pet Licensing
- Pooper Scooper Laws
