[Talk] Lawyers for Pets

[zmcse (bon ami)]

        Pet lawyers are quickly becoming popular

        by Jan Crosetto

        Is the world going to the dogs – and the cats? Emily
   wants her dog Max to inherit her money when she dies. Mary and Ted
   are getting a divorce, so Cupcake, their cat, must decide which
   owner to live with. It will be Cupcake's "choice." In the United
   States and Europe, animals are no longer just possessions. They
   have rights of their own as well as their own lawyers to be sure
   they get those rights.

    "For literally thousands of years, animals have been part of
   personal property," says David Favre, a law professor and animal
   law specialist.
