Kesler & DQs 56-58:ALUMINUM 1st Issue? Did trial court err in entering judgment for defendant becausea person has no right to kill a fox escaped from captivity when asked by a neighbor to help protect the neighbor’s chickens, which the fox is attacking
Kesler & DQs 56-58:ALUMINUM DQ56: Both Albers and Kesler treat the question of the right to kill the fox as independent of the question of who owns it. If the plaintiffs owned the foxes, why is it legally acceptable for a third party to kill them?

SEVERABILITY OF PROPERTY RIGHTS • Can have some rights w regard to an object without having all possible rights • Common Examples: • Landlord-Tenant • Ratione Soli • Items Affected by Necessity
SEVERABILITY OF PROPERTY RIGHTS • Can have some rights w regard to an object without having all possible rights • Here, OK because acting (for Mrs. W) as a reasonably prudent person would, under reasonably apparent necessity, to protect own property (chickens)
DQ57: Sample Factual Differences between Albers and Kesler. Why Might They Matter? • Kesler finder/defendant is not expert • Kesler caretakers still in pursuit when fox killed • Kesler fox has no tattoo • Kesler takes place in Idaho, not Colorado
DQ58: Differences in Reasoning between Albers and Kesler. Albers assumes the finder would win under the rule in Mullett, so it carves out an exception to that rule. How does Kesler deal with the Mullett rule?
DQ58: Differences in Reasoning between Albers and Kesler. Kesler holds that the fox never returned to natural liberty where she “had formerly escaped and been recaptured; she had been out of her pen but a short time; her owners were in pursuit [and] she was killed but a short distance from her pen….”
DQ58: Differences in Reasoning between Albers and Kesler. Note what Kesler says about Albers: “Stephens & Co. v. Albers, a case squarely in point, supports the conclusion herein ....” [i.e., NOT the reasoning.]
DQ58: Differences in Reasoning between Albers and Kesler. Note quote from treatise: But even where the inference that escaping wild beasts have animum revertendi could probably not be indulged in fairly, as where the wild animals of a menagerie escape from their owner's immediate possession, it is hardly to be expected that the courts would hold that they would therefore belong to the first person who should subject them to his dominion.
