Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Law of Animals: A Treatise on Property in Animals, Wild and Domestic, and the Rights and Responsibilities Arising Therefrom
With regard to the method of treatment adopted, it has been the object of the author to let the cases speak as much as possible for themselves, - in other words, to give, as far as is consistent with reasonable brevity, the facts and grounds of decision in all the more important cases rather than to furnish long lists of cases to support general legal pro-positions. No attempt has been made to compile and digest the statutory law on the subjects treated of, except in so far as it is laid down and interpreted in the decisions themselves. Where there are so many independent jurisdictions, any other plan would be confusing, even if it were practicable.
