| Backyard Breeding: Regulatory Nuisance, Crime Precursor | Lisa Milot | 85 Tenn. L. Rev. 707 (2018) | This Article fills this gap by addressing the problems of unregulated, small-volume dog breeding. Part I provides an overview of the regulatory regimes that govern dog breeding in the United States; an Appendix provides citations to and summaries of the relevant provisions of each state's laws. Part II steps back and describes backyard breeding operations and their harms, including, at times, their role in larger criminal enterprises. Part III reviews literature on the regulation of “low risk” activities and develops a practical, three-step approach to regulating backyard breeding, to efficiently resolve much nuisance-level backyard breeding and illuminate the pernicious breeding. Part IV concludes the Article. |
| Two Competing Models of Activism, One Goal: A Case Study of Anti-Whaling Campaigns in the Southern Ocean | Anthony L.I. Moffa | 37 Yale J. Int'l L. 201 (2012) |
This Comment is divided into four parts. Part I will describe the problem presented by international whaling and provide a historical context of the industry, its relatively recent regulation, and specific actions concerning Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean. Parts II and III will draw on this case study to illustrate the competing models of activism--protest and interventionist--and highlight the demonstrated advantages of and drawbacks to each. Part IV will lend insight into the implications of permitting each model. |
| Brief Overview of Polar Bears | Sarah R Morgan | Animal Legal and Historical Center |
This article provides a brief overview of the threats facing polar bears. |
| Overview of Polar Bears | Sarah R. Morgan | Animal Legal and Historical Center |
This overview explores the laws, both domestic and non-U.S., in place to protect polar bears. It also discusses the current threats to polar bear populations, including climate change, oil and other development, pollution, hunting and self-defense killing, intraspecific predation, tourism in the Arctic, and capture for public display. |
| Detailed Discussion of Polar Bears and the Laws Governing Them in the Five Arctic States | Sarah R. Morgan | Animal Legal and Historical Web Center |
This discussion provides a description of the current threats to polar bears and how the current legislative regimes in Canada, Greenland, Norway, Russia and the the United States respond to these threats. |
| Biological Overview of the Polar Bear | Sarah R. Morgan | Animal Legal & Historical Center |
This article provides a brief biological summary of the polar bear. |
| Canada - Welfare - Dog Breeding | Amy Morris | Dog breeding is an unregulated industry in British Columbia and most of Canada, resulting in poor outcomes in some dogs’ welfare: genetic make-up, physical health, and mental health. This suffering in dogs results in subsequent costs to taxpayers and dog guardians. This study explores the question: How can British Columbia overcome the negative externalities surrounding the welfare and socialization of dogs in the dog breeding industry? Policies in five countries are reviewed, informed by legislation, publicly available data, and confidential interviews with key informants. Three policy options emerge from the findings: regulation, regulation with licensing and permissible inspection, or regulation, licensing, and mandatory inspection. Approaches are evaluated using a multi-criteria approach. The study recommends a comprehensive, measurable, and equitable regulation with licensing and permissible inspection. To be effective, this regulation should be implemented with adequate consultation, training, and public education. | |

| Methods and Welfare Considerations for Behavioral Research | Adrian R. Morrison, D.V.M., Ph.D., Hugh L. Evans, Ph.D., Nancy A. Ator, Ph.D., Richard K. Nakamura, Ph.D., and the editorial assistance of Deborah Faryna | National Institute of Mental Health (2002). Methods and Welfare Considerations in Behavioral Research with Animals: Report of a National Institutes of Health Workshop. Morrison AR; Evans HL; Ator NA; Nakamura RK (eds). NIH Publication No. 02-5083. Washin | Behavioral research has made significant contributions to the understanding, treatment, and prevention of behavioral disorders. Experimental animals play an essential role in this work. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), together with other institutes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that have relevant research programs, prepared this handbook. The handbook provides a description of and references for commonly used behavioral research methods and associated animal welfare considerations in accordance with Federal laws governing animal research. It is intended to assist Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs) in their reviews of protocols involving animal behavior and animal cognition, particularly when expertise is not available on the committee, and to assist investigators in planning their experiments. |
