Focus Feature: Foxes, Seals, Whales and the Rule of Capture: Animals in the Law and Legal History [1]
The common-law rule on the capture of wild animals is often cited by law and economics scholars to demonstrate the superiority of clear rules over vague or “fuzzy” standards. In countless property law courses, the famous fox hunt case, Pierson v. Post (1805), is used to support the “catch it and kill it if you can” view of property: mere pursuit of a wild animal is insufficient to establish possession. Where “hot pursuit” might have been sufficient according to the sportsman’s custom, escape was always possible, and the law preferred certainty. In this forthcoming focus feature edited by Angela Fernandez (Law, University of Toronto), four scholars spanning law and history challenge this rules v. standards approach to the rule of capture, demonstrating that, understood historically, the situation is much more complicated and interesting – which wild animal, which type of hunting, in what period all turn out to be important.
