Harry operated a game farm in the suburbs of a large city. He took all reasonable precautions to keep the animals, some of which were dangerous, within the confines of that game farm. One night, a group of protesters came onto the property and released all the animals as an act of protest against the incarceration of such wild creatures. One of the animals, a cougar, went onto a neighbour's property and killed an expensive show dog. That neighbour sued Harry. Explain the neighbour's likelihood of success.

Question

Abdellah Rahmoune · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A game farm is an unusual use of property. The dangerous animals created a situation of strict liability for Joe. When they escaped, although it was not his fault and he could not have anticipated this kind of interference, he would still be held strictly liable for the loss.
