Reply #21: I would agree that allowing chickens free range, as is popular, [View All]

may well constitute a form of neglect. I suspect at the moment under current property laws if Wiley E Coyote had chicken lunch the loss is to your asset only, sans the guilt about chicken little. However, should those laws be changed to guardianship of an animal rather than ownership of property could not a case of neglect of this guardianship of a free range chicken be cause for some punitive charge against the guardian? Maybe by some state watch chicken group?

Lets face it Wiley E. will do what Wiley E can. We know that, so would there be a legal duty above your moral duty to protect Chicken Little? What if instead of a chicken my furry fuzzy friend wanted to play outside and were to be consumed by Wiley E? As the Guardian of one fat slow cat is it encumbering on me to also protect him overtly from nature as I would say a young child? Could I be fined or possibly jailed for failure in my guardianship as opposed to the failure of losing property?
