| THE RISE OF EQUINE ACTIVITY LIABILITY ACTS | Sharlene McEvoy | 3 Animal L. 201 (1997) | The law regarding animals can also affect those who own, use, or enjoy them. In recent years, the equine industry has become more vulnerable to liability as a result of recent court decisions undermining the traditional view that persons who participate in horseback riding assume the risk of injuries they incur. This paper examines six significant cases, as well as statutes passed by state legislatures to meet the challenges posed by these decisions. The legislative history and debate over the passage of a Connecticut bill are examined to illustrate the policy behind equine liability acts. | Article |

| The welfare of greyhounds in Australian racing: has the industry run its course? | Alexandra McEwan and Krishna Skandakumar | 6 AAPLJ 53 | Australia’s greyhound racing industry is reportedly the third largest in the world. Over fifty racetracks operate across the country, with the majority located in New South Wales. In 2009 the total 'stake money,' that is, the amount put at risk by punters, was $73,773 million nationwide. This article explores welfare issues in the greyhound industry, arguing that, despite recent regulatory reforms and industry efforts to improve welfare standards, there is sufficient evidence available to conclude Australia should follow the lead set by the USA and begin dismantling a sporting industry which has run its course. In short, this form of animal use can no longer be justified as 'necessary.' | Article |
