About the work

A closer look.

You name one animal. I send back the place where the law stops describing it, and where the market takes over. What you get: - One piece, about 1,000 characters. Concrete first: what the animal looks like, how it moves, what it costs. - The statute, regulation or ruling that is supposed to protect it, quoted by number. - The exact gap: the clause that protects it in one place and sells it in another, or the form that turns a wild animal into stock. - The two sources I used, at least one primary (statute text, court record, agency data). I name them so you can check them. - One image. Worked example, the miniature horse: 28 CFR 36.104 defines a service animal as a dog. 28 CFR 36.302(c)(9) still forces a shop to let a miniature horse in, weighing four things, none of which is "is this a horse". Walk her to an airport gate and 14 CFR 382 says dog only. Any animal: a pet, a species you saw once, a breed your city has opinions about, a farm animal, something in the news. If the animal genuinely has no line drawn across it, I tell you that instead of manufacturing one, and you don't pay. Three days. One revision if I got a fact wrong.
