Replevin Vs. Massachusetts Animal Shelter: Case Study

Propety owners are not allowed to set up traps in their homes to hurt trespassers, if one is defending themselves, a person may use force. However, that type of force is never permitted for protection of property unless the trespassers is threatening their

Trespass is defined as entering “private property without the owner's permission or entering portions of the public property that are off limits to the public,” and could result in being held liable for “civil or criminal trespass” (Digital Media Law Project, 2008). “Trespass to chattels is a tort whereby one party intentionally interferes or intentionally intermeddles with another person's lawful possession of a chattel” (Trespass to Chattels, 2016). Actual damage has to be shown in order to action. It is stated that “interference can be any physical contact with the chattel or by dispossession of the chattel by taking it, destroying it, or barring the owner's access to it” (Trespass to Chattels, 2016). These definitions

Under Vermont Common Law does Mr. John Ellis’ recently created chicken coop in a residential neighborhood constitutes a private nuisance when Mr. Ellis’ rooster and the hens generate odors and noises that could be considered unreasonable and substantial interferences with Ms. Alicia Carmody’s enjoyment of her yard?

When most people think about Animal Control shelters, it usually negative. Animal control shelters get an unjust reputation of just being a place where unwanted, problem dogs go to be euthanized. I mean, you call the your local animal control office when you see a stray dog hanging around the neighborhood, right? They show up in a van or truck driven by a uniformed officer who carries a scary looking pole with a loop on it to catch animals. Well, there’s more to your local animal control shelter than just catching stray dogs and cats.

Murder and abuse cases never fail to startle society. Moral codes are flouted with unmatched rigorousness by these indubitable egregious crimes. Sufferers in these cases are often people. Nonetheless, these callous obscenities should not be seen as less important when animals are the victims. Animals undergo horrendous abuse due to barbaric individuals, greed, and unnecessary lab testing.

An animal shelter is a place where stray, lost, abandoned, or surrendered animals, mostly dogs and cats and sometimes sick or wounded wildlife, are brought. Animal shelters are essential in the United States because of inattentive pet proprietorship and uncontrolled breeding of animals. People often get pets without a full understanding of the time, money, and space that they require. Regrettably, that recurrently results in pets being abandoned or abused by these owners. Apart from accountable breeders, owners should spay or neuter their pets to stop the serious overpopulation problem, which is happening in the United States. Shelters do not treat or stop the problem of unwanted pets but without them the stray pet population would be astronomical. There would be more problems with disease spread and an increased incidence of stray animal-induced injuries. A shelter should also be a domicile where animals could be benign and feel loved and taken care of; not just a drop off. The shelter in my community tries to do their best with their animals, but I feel that the shelter needs to be able to do their jobs better and for the animals to feel comfortable.

To hold a landowner liable for physical harm to trespassing children, a plaintiff must prove that children, because of their youth, do not discover or realize the risk involved in intermeddling with it or in coming within the area made dangerous by it. Barnhizer v. Paradise Valley Unified Sch. Dist., 599 P.2d 209 (Ariz. 1979). If a child, while realizing the danger of his or her conduct, disregards the risk out of the spirit of bravado or

The Randolph County Humane Society houses 64 pets for adoption, 54 of which are eligible for sponsorship. By sponsoring a pet, you choose to either pay to feed that pet for a month, a medical exam, getting spayed or neutered, or just a general sponsorship. 29 cats, 31 dogs, 3 mice, and 1 rat are currently housed for adoption. Most of the pets that are eligible for sponsorship are the ones up for adoption. 26 of the cats, 30 of the dogs and the mice are the ones eligible for sponsorship. Of all the animals, 2 dogs and 2 cats have special needs. For example, one of the cats is epileptic (Welcome! - Randolph County Humane Society). The humane society wants all the care and safety of the animals. The employees there value the animals care

“A trespass occurs and liability is imposed with any intentional invasion of an individual’s right to the exclusive use of his or her own property.” (McAdams, 2009)

Whether Sherman, under the attractive nuisance doctrine, will likely prevail against Carlisle for multiple injuries he sustained in a fall from wooden steps of a tree house in disrepair while trespassing upon Carlisle’s property when: (1) Carlisle was aware that the neighborhood surrounding his property was populated with children; (2) a severe storm had damaged Carlisle’s property and exposed the previously concealed tree house; (3) Sherman was six years of age at the time of his injury; (4) Carlisle had little incentive to make repairs to the tree house prior to the storm because of its concealment; (5) immediately following the storm, Carlisle made arrangements with a contractor at a higher than average rate to make

The court will likely find that Rocco biting Jeff on Ava’s property does not make Ava the owner of Rocco under the Illinois Animal Control Act. In the Illinois Animal Control Act, a dog owner can be held liable for injuries if the dog attacks when not provoked and the injured was peacefully and lawfully on the premises. 510 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/16 (LexisNexis, Lexis Advance through Pub. Act. 99-622, except for portions of Pub. Act. 99-576, Pub. Act. 99-585, Pub. Act. 99-604, and Pub. Act. 99-609 of the 2016 Reg. Legis. Sess.). According to the statue, “owner means any person having a right of property in an animal, or keeps or harbors an animal, or who has it in his care, or acts as its custodian, or knowingly permits a dog to remain on any premises occupied by him or her”. 510 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/2.16 (LexisNexis, Lexis Advance through Pub. Act. 99-904, except for portions of Pub. Act. 99-576, 585, 604, 622, 642, 648, 669, 674, 703, 711, 719, 720, 732, 744, 757, 758, 763, 773, 775, 788, 796, 801, 802, 817, 822, 841, 848, 860, 864, 874, 876, 881, 889, 892, 893, 894, and 901 of the 2016 Reg. Legis. Sess.). To be determined to be the owner by the jury, the person needs to provide some degree of care or custody or voluntarily assume care or control or have property interest in the animal. VanPlew v. Riccio, 739 N.E.2d 1023, 1026 (Ill. App. Ct. 2000); Docherty v. Sadler, 689 N.E.2d 332, 334 (Ill. App. Ct. 1997); Goennenwein by Goennenwein v. Rasof, 695 N.E.2d 541,

In order to claim trespass, there must be a physical intrusion upon the property of another without the proper permission from the person legally entitled to possession of that property. Intrusion can occur when an actor intentionally enter the possessed land or when an actor causes something else to enter the land. For this claim, there does not need to be intent to harm for there to be liability. In the first project, metals and

§2143(a) (b) and §2149(b), which are part of the Animal Welfare Act, were enacted so that standards of humane treatment can be given to animals used by research facilities, dealers, and exhibitors. The Animal Welfare Act was passed in 1966 because of the increasing concern about the stealing of dogs and cats for use in research facilities (National Anti-Vivisection Society, 2015).

To address the research question, a qualitative comparative case study design will be used to illustrate how toolkit will be used within The Massachusetts Society for Prevention of Cruelty to children (MSPCC) Lawrence as a tool to modify Trauma Focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TFCBT). Within MSPCC Lawrence, a group of practitioners will make cultural modifications to an TF-CBT according on needs identified by the community of Lawrence. This group will be considered the working study case group. A non-working study case will be in place as a baseline which will only use TF-CBT without any modifications. During an initial meeting, the researcher will provide copies of the Toolkit (Toolkit is described in detail in the measures session below) to the clinic director and participating staff at MSPCC to modify TF-CBT. As toolkit is integrated and utilized within the agency, there researcher will collect data. This will include notes from meetings, any handouts, presentation of the toolkit material, and email exchanges as it pertains to the integration of tool kit. The researcher will collect data on therapeutic outcomes as evidenced by a Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) that will be used in both the working and the non-working study case. Collecting these variety of data will be consistent and is a standard in the development of case studies(Baxter & Jack, 2008). The researcher will collect data in the period of three months which is the time frame

Massachusetts and some other states petitioned the EPA (Environmental protection Agency) requesting them to control radiation of carbon dioxide and supplementary gases that give away to global warming from motor vehicles. MA wanted to control this greenhouse effect by obtaining the Clean Air Act (CAA). This act indicates that congress must monitor any air pollutant that can cause crisis to public health and welfare. EPA rejected the petition, justifying that the CAA does not have the power to tell the EPA to control the greenhouse gas radiation. Even if it did, EPA argued that they had the power to adjourn a decision until more research could be done on the damage and climate change. MA applied the declination of the petition to the
