Cold Feet: Addressing the Effect of Human Activity in Antarctica on Terrestrial Wildlife Andrew J. Koper 10 J. Animal & Nat. Resource L. 165 On the fringes of the frozen continent, penguins, seals, seabirds, and simple vegetation have gained a foothold. Humans have entered their frozen realm as a competitor for space along the coast, the only portion of the continent that can foster life. Humans and animals interact regularly through scientific activities and tourism. This paper will examine the extent of those interactions, as well as some of the negative impacts that human presence has had in Antarctica. Such impacts can range from an oil spill of a science program’s supply ship, to a tourist knocking over a camera tripod onto a penguin chick, crippling it so that it was attacked and had to be euthanized. This Note discusses the current management regime for Antarctic living resources: the Antarctic Treaty System. The Note focuses on when the ATS fails, and when those failures result in harm to Antarctic terrestrial wildlife. Article
SLAMMING SHUT THE ARK DOORS: CONGRESS'S ATTACK ON THE LISTING PROCESS OF THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT Jeffrey S. Kopf 3 Animal L. 103 (1997) The 104th Congress legislated a complete moratorium on the listing of species and critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act. Mr. Kopf explores the motivations behind the moratorium and hows how market forces may further weaken the ESA. This article questions whether the moratorium and its subsequent repeal signal a new era of environmental awareness or a return to industry’s discreet manipulation of the legislative process. Article
Religious Exemptions -- Applicability to Vegetarian Beliefs Caroline L. Kraus 30 Hofstra L. Rev. 197-224 (2001)

This Note analyzes the likelihood that vegetarian beliefs will satisfy the requirements necessary to secure a religious exemption under the backdrop of New York's mandatory vaccination law, Public Health Law section 2164, and the accompanying case law. The author then presents a hypothetical challenge to 2164 by vegetarian parents, outlining arguments that might be brought by both sides. In the end, the author determines that the most practical approach for the courts to follow would be to adopt a broad definition of religion encompassing vegetarian beliefs, while stressing the sincerity of belief inquiry to weed out individuals not truly deserving of exemption.

Overview of Whaling Tom Krepitch Animal Legal & Historical Center In 2010, Australia sued Japan at the International Court of Justice in an effort to force Japan to end its whaling program in the Antarctic.
