Whether firefighters and police can unreasonably withhold sustenance and emergency aid to companion dogs after a fire was extinguished, to conduct an investigation
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether Michigan v Tyler, 436 US 499, Michigan v. Clifford, 464 US 287 (1984) authorizes firefighters and police to unreasonably withhold sustenance and emergency aid to companion dogs after a brief fire was entirely extinguished, for the sake of exercising their official powers-to conduct an investigation; as grounds to interfere, and defeat a person’s possessory interest in their live property to the point of death. Does a fire investigation justify abandoning living beings in harm’s way, under the facts of this case? Can a search exceed reasonable bounds when a companion animal is abandoned to die in such emergencies? Is the presence of companion animals in private homes; or other . structures on one’s property, so immaterial/trivial? Which exigency is more eminent lifesaving emergency aid or an investigation? What is the test or order for balancing competing exigency “reasonably” when a non-human living being is present? Pra AWY o7HtR TESUE His MET DECHS wacity/ COM fete W/) “B) i ig Y
