Detailed Discussion Landowner and Landlord Liability for Dangerous Animals David S. Favre Michigan State University College of Law

This overview explores the liability for both landowners and landlords for injuries to third parties caused by tenant's animals.

Equitable Self-Ownership for Animals David Favre 50 Duke Law Jour. 473 (2000)

This Article proposes a new use of existing property law concepts to change the juristic personhood status of animals. Presently, animals are classified as personal property, which gives them no status or standing in the legal system for the protection or promotion of their interests. Professor Favre suggests that it is possible and appropriate to divide living property into its legal and equitable components, and then to transfer the equitable title of an animal from the legal title holder to the animal herself. This would create a new, limited form of self-ownership in an animal, an equitably self-owned animal.
