1 Frequently Asked Questions Arising from the Rescue of Animals Affected by a Regional Disaster [1] (2006)

handle is hein.animal/faqrea0001 and id is 1 raw text is: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ARISING FROM THE RESCUE OF ANIMALS AFFECTED BY A REGIONAL DISASTER BACKGROUND This Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) project was originally designed to help address the legal questions generated by animal rescuers and others assisting with the recovery of animals affected by Hurricane Katrina in September of 2005. As hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorism and other disasters continue to pose a threat to the U.S., this document will continue to grow over time to encompass more questions and more states' laws. It was initiated and produced by the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) and the American Bar Association's Tort, Trial and Insurance Practice Section's Animal Law Committee. Volunteer attorneys from across the U.S. have donated their time to, as quickly as possible, research and write the legal memoranda that support the shorter answers provided here. Attorneys and others who would like to read the full memoranda prepared for any one or all of the questions may send your request to ALDF at hurricane@aldf.org and we will respond as quickly as we can, given our limited resources. ONLINE HOTLINE AVAILABLE Don't see the answer to your animal rescue legal question here? Then you or your organization can submit a question to hurricane@aldf.org and we will have a volunteer attorney research it and provide you with an answer if possible. We may also post your answer as part of these FAQs. (Don't forget to include information on how to contact you to get you your answer!) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The organizers of this project would like to thank our legal researchers: Claire Davis, Paul A. Ernest, Janis Fallon, Beatrice M. Friedlander, Cara Frisbie, Greg Harris, Michelle Harris, Kris McConville, Jay Pomerantz, Renada Rutmanis, Sarah Slayen, Kasson Stone, Terrence Woodsome. It was organized and edited by Dana Campbell.
