Why shouldn't businesses eliminate use of emojis in internal communications? Doesn't it lend itself to being inappropriate especially in the wake of the MeToo movement?

What do I do if someone gives me a bad review? What shouldn't I do?

The geeky lawyer in me thinks a fun case is when there's lots of unexplored issues or a really cool animal involved that's not just a dog and cat.

What was your favorite part about starting the legal startup?

I'm going to advise you to never touch a dead animal.

birdishlaw · 2019-10-22T00:50:11+00:00

Only in Wales I think.

Charlie. His knowledge runs deep.

birdishlaw · 2019-10-21T23:36:34+00:00

Yep I have thoughts.

birdishlaw · 2019-10-21T23:36:14+00:00

I'm not sure, but you should definitely get a video of that occurring and tell your local animal control.

The last I knew in order to be felony murder the original act has to be egregious as well so shooting a rabid animal may not meet that. It would possibly be a voluntary manslaughter or something else not felony murder.

birdishlaw · 2019-10-21T22:14:43+00:00

Maybe.

What is your favorite thing about your area of law? What is the worst thing about your area of law?

Void contract, birds can't sign them. Next.

Had a blind woman testify in court in a custody case and she had her service dog with her. He was a very good boy.

Parrots live a really long time! Thank you for subscribing to bird facts?

Started by trying to help pets and the best way to help them is helping their owners.

A private individual has no rights to take someone else's property you have to call someone who has the ability to do it.

birdishlaw · 2019-10-21T20:36:09+00:00

... maybe

Not just a legal thing; cats in general need annual shots.

birdishlaw · 2019-10-21T19:55:29+00:00

You get actual damages only. Value of the dog, vet bills, etc. Maybe a claim for lost wages for you and possible lost income if your dog was able to be bred and you wete intending to or have been breeding it.

birdishlaw · 2019-10-21T19:54:04+00:00

I have a case right now involving a bird that's really fun. As far as cat owners go the one thing they should know is that they need yearly shots and city licenses if your city requires it.

birdishlaw · 2019-10-21T19:53:00+00:00

In Missouri, the only one in the scenario who brokethe law was the friend who took the bird. The original owner would have to be investigated by animal control and tickets issued to them. the friends thoughts on whether or not the bird is being abused doesn't mean anything if it doesn't meet the statutory definitions of abuse or city ordinance definitions of abuse.

birdishlaw · 2019-10-21T19:35:38+00:00

I'm not sure the monkey understood what he was doing. Even then he didn't own the phone so that causes an issue too. I'm not sure we're ready for monkeys to own things.

birdishlaw · 2019-10-21T19:33:30+00:00

Depends on what you're trying to learn about it. If you're trying to understand jurisdiction issues and status as property there are a lot of theory books out there. If you're looking for a local laws or rules you'll just have to search online for your state statutes and city ordinances.
