| THE FOREST SERVICE'S BAIT AND SWITCH: A CASE STUDY ON BEAR BAITING AND THE SERVICE'S STRUGGLE TO ADOPT A REASONED POLICY ON A CONTROVERSIAL HUNTING PRACTICE WITHIN THE NATIONAL FORESTS | Eric Glitzenstein and John Fritschie | 1 Animal L. 47 (1995) | After describing the practice and effects of bear baiting, the article recounts the USFS's reluctant and haphazard attempts to develop a national policy on bear baiting, and the resulting legal challenges. The authors examine the scope of USFS authority to regulate human activities in the national forests, particularly with regard to actions impacting wildlife, then analyze the USFS's recent proposed "national policy" on bear baiting. Finally, the authors will explain why the USFS should apply the same management principles and standards to controversial 'hunting" practices, such as bear baiting, as it does to other uses of the nation's forests which have environmental impacts and interfere with the use and enjoyment of the forests by other users. | ||

| The Historical and Contemporary Prosecution and Punishment of Animals | Jen Girgen | 9 Animal L. 97 (2003) | This article analyzes the role of the animal “offender,” by examining the animal trials and executions of years past. The writer argues that although the formal prosecution of animals as practiced centuries ago may have ended (for the most part), we continue to punish animals for their “crimes” against human beings. She suggests that we do this primarily to achieve two ends: the restoration of order and the achievement of revenge, and concludes with a call for a renewed emphasis on “due process” for animals threatened with punishment for their offenses. |

| The History of Animal Law, Part I (1972-1987) | Joyce Tischler | Joyce Tischler, 1 Stan. J. Animal L. & Pol'y 1 (2008) | Animals have always been the subjects of litigation. Early legal literature is replete with cases that range from the conversion of a farmer’s cow to the debate about who owns wildlife, [1] from criminal prosecutions of humans for cruelty to animals [2] to criminal prosecutions of animals for crimes that they allegedly committed. [3] The purpose of this article is not simply to discuss the significance of individual cases involving animals, but rather to explore the roots of a large-scale, organized movement, which started in the early 1970s in the United States, spearheaded by attorneys and law students with the express purpose of filing lawsuits to protect animals and establishing the concept of their legal rights, regardless of the species of the animals or the ownership interest of humans. What we now call Animal Rights Law or Animal Law began when attorneys consciously considered animal-related legal issues from the perspective of the animal’s interests, when they began to view the animal as the de facto client, and where the goal was to challenge institutionalized forms of animal abuse and exploitation. Within the scope of a law review article, it is not practical to list all of the lawsuits filed from 1972 to 1987. [4] The goal of this article is to trace the beginnings of animal law as a legal discipline and analyze the thought processes of its leaders, how the surrounding animal rights movement influenced the direction of animal law, and how the choices that were made shaped the foundation and growth of this area of the law. This article is written in the first person, because I don’t wish to mislead the reader who might assume that I am a dispassionate historian. I am an animal rights lawyer; the people described herein are my respected colleagues. | ||
