A right of property may be ac
quired in animals that are wild by
nature, by having them in actual
possession, and this may be ac
complished by taming, domesti
cating, or confining them. Any
deposit made by wild animals
belongs to the owner of the land
upon which it is found. Honey
deposited in a tree belongs to the
owner of the tree, although the
bees may bo hived by another.
Eggs of wild birds, and the in
crease of wild animals, so long as
they ore unable to leave the land,
belong to the owner of the land.
The increase of domestic ani
mals belong to the owner of the
mother at the time of birth.
As a general rule the owner of
ordinary domestic animals not
naturally inclined to do mischief,
as horses, oxen, sheep, and the
like, is not liable for injuries to
the person or property qf another
so long as they are rightfully in
the place where the mischief is
done, unless it is known that the
particular animal was accustomed
to do mischief, or lmd*an inclina
tion to do so, and this propensity
was known to the owner, or the
circumstances were such that he
ought to have known.
One who keeps wild animals is
liable for any damage they may
do, without proof of knowledge
that they committed previous
injuries.
Whether an animal is wild or
domestic is generally easy of de
termination ; but the exact status
of the dog and the cat has not
been definitely determined. The
tendency of the law makers and
the courts is to raist; the dog to
the dignity of a domestic animal 4
but this has not yet been fully
accomplished. The dog may be
taxed, is the subject of larceny,.a
suit may be brought to recover
possession of it, or for a milicious
injury to it, but not for a mere
negligent injury. It has never
been held that a dog can be levied
on, or that it must be included in
the inventory of an estate of a
dead person. It is, however,
clearly apparent that the day of
the dog as a domestic animal, for
all purposes, is in the near future.
No leg-slator has ever yet raised
his voice in favor of the amelior
ation of the condition of the cat,
and no judge m the United States
has ever penned even a dictum in
its favor. The recent action of
President Roosevelt, in consenting
to act as the testamentary guard
ian of two Angora cats, may be
the drawing of the day of the cut.
A dog may be so ferocious as to
become a public nuisance, and if
the owner permits it to run at
large any person may kill 'it.
If a dog, not upon the premises
of its owner, kills or injures live
stock the owner is liable for dam
ages without reference to the
character of the dog or knowledge
of its propensities.
One who keeps upon his prem
ises a ferocious dog is liable for
any injury to anyone going there
on upon lawful business, and even
to a trespasser in the day time, if
the trespasser have no notice of
the character of the animal.
A farmer may keep a ferocious
dog for the necessary defense of
his premises, and may cautiously
use him for that purpose in the
night time; but if he turns him
loose in the day time he acts at
his peril and is liable for any in
jury done, oven it the party in
jured is a mere trespasser; and if
such dog leaves the premises of
the owner in the night time, the
farmer will be liable to a person
injured on the highway or else
where.
As a general rule a farmer hni
no right to kill trespassing cattle,
or other animals. He must con
tent himself with his legal reme
dies; driving them from his prem
ises, impounding them, or suing
at law. This rule applies also to
fowls.
Of course the killing of an ani
mal may bo justified when it is
necessary to the preservation of
life, or the avoidance of an injury
to the person, but for the protec
tion of crops and other property
the law only permits it in extreme
cases and rare instances
A farmer may drive trespassing
animals into the highway, but if
ho drives them further along the
highway than is necessary for his
own protection. he is responsible
to the owner if they are,* in conse
quence* lost- by straying. If the
animal of an adjoining owner
came upon his premises in conse
quence of a defect in a fence which
it was his duty -to maintain, lie
must drive them to the premises
of the owner and not into the
highway.
A dog may be used in driving
off trespassing animals, but its
use for this purpose is at the peril
of the farmer. If the animals are
injured he is liable to the owner,
in the event the size, character of
the dog, and the manner in which
he wa^used, was such that injury
shouldniave been foreseen.
The keeping of animals with an
infectious disease is not, in itself,
an act of culpable negligence.
The owner is not liable for the
communication of the disease to
other animals unless there is proof
of some fault on his part other
than the mere keeping of such
animals. x
One who poisons trespassing
animals, including fowls, or sets
traps baited with strong scented
meats, and similar contrivances
to allure animals to their destruc
tion, is liable in damage the owner
of the animals thus destroyed.
The malicious maiming or kill
ing of horses, cattle and hogs, and
all acts of cruelty to a domestic
animal, including a dog, are of
fenses punishable under the law.
Wiliully riding or driving the
horse or mule of another, without
his consent, is a crime.
A farmer' may take up estrays
and impound cattle under certain
conditions, but he should take care
that the law is strictly followed
in such cases, as a deviation will
lie followed by the imposition of
heavy pecuniary penalties.
The owner of stallions, jacks,
blooded and imported bulls and
boars, has a lien upon the get of
such animals for one year from
the birth of the get, provided such
lien is duly recorded within six
mdnths after the service.
