Many pet cases come before courts each year, often around the purchase of a new pet. How the court views pets as property can be hard on pet owners where a pet is often part of the family.
“not of merchantable quality, not reasonably fit for the intended purpose and did not last a reasonable amount of time”
“used goods”
” just another consumer product”
These are all phrases used by justices to describe animals much to the chagrin of pet owners.
