Pierson v. Post : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pierson v. Post
''Pierson v. Post'', 3 Cai. R. 175, 2 Am. Dec. 264 (N.Y. 1805), is a Supreme Court of New York case about a disagreement over a dead fox that serves as an important cornerstone in American legal education. == Background == Lodowick Post, a fox hunter, was chasing a fox through a vacant lot when Pierson came across the fox and, knowing it was being chased by another, killed the fox and took it away. Post sued Pierson on an action for trespass on the case for damages against his possession of the fox. Post argued that he had ownership of the fox as giving chase to an animal in the course of hunting it was sufficient to establish possession. The trial court found in favor of Post. On appeal after the trial, the issue put to the Supreme Court of Judicature of New York was whether one could obtain property rights to a wild animal (Ferae naturae), in this case the fox, by pursuit.
