Legal Terms - Angary
Angary is the legal right of belligerent states to utilize or destroy another state's property during times of war.
Neutral entities have the right to possess and utilize properties, whether on their own territory, enemy territory, or on the open sea, for the purpose of both offense and defense. Historically, the right of jus angariae was limited to the aggressive act of imposing an embargo on and confiscating neutral commercial ships at its ports, and forcing them and their crews to convey troops, ammunition, and supplies to certain locations, with the requirement of paying the freight in advance. Nevertheless, any type of property that is not aligned with a particular side, such as vessels or other modes of transportation, weapons, ammunition, supplies, or other personal belongings, might be subject to the contemporary legal concept of angary, as long as the items in question are useful for military purposes and needs. Some argue that one way to differentiate angary from other types of expropriation, such as requisition, is the amount of compensation involved. Angary requires complete compensation, but other examples of expropriation may require less than full compensation.

Legal Terms - Animals
In the context of civil responsibility in England, animals are categorized as either belonging to a hazardous or a non-hazardous species, as defined by the Animals Act of 1971. A harmful species refers to an organism that is not typically tamed or kept as a pet in human households.
The British Isles, inhabited by mature individuals, are very prone to inflicting significant or potentially devastating harm. The custodian of a perilous species is fully responsible for any harm it inflicts.
Liability for damage caused by other animals can be attributed either under the Animals Act, if the animal's keeper was aware of its unusual characteristics that are not typically found in that species or are only found in specific circumstances, which made it probable to cause that specific type of damage; or under the general principles of tort liability. Therefore, if a dog is allowed to wander on the highway without caution, the person responsible can be held legally responsible for any accidents that occur as a result. Similarly, if a pig farm emits an overwhelming odor that creates a disturbance, legal action can be taken against the farm owner (Wheeler v Saunders [1996] Ch 19).
The Animals Act enforces severe accountability for harm caused by trespassing livestock, encompassing cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, goats, and poultry. The owner of a dog that kills or injures cattle is responsible for the resulting harm, unless the animals was hurt while trespassing on the owner's property. If livestock is threatened by a dog, the individual who owns the livestock (or the individual who owns the land where the livestock resides) has the right to eliminate or harm the dog in order to safeguard the livestock.
Under the Animals (Scotland) Act 1987, Scotland enforces strict liability for any harm caused by animals that are of a species known to be capable of causing death, severe injury, or significant damage to property.
The Act also provides legal justification for the killing or injury of an animal that attacks or harasses people or livestock.
Obtaining a license may be necessary for keeping hazardous wild animals, as mandated by the hazardous Wild Animals Act of 1976 (see to dangerous animals). Possessing dogs of a breed specifically bred for combat is a violation of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
The regulation of guard dogs is governed by the Guard Dogs Act of 1975. Additional legislations safeguard different species, regulate the importation of animals, and address animal diseases. Starting in April 2016, it became mandatory for all dogs in England to have a microchip implanted. Failure to comply with this regulation might result in a fine of £500, as stated in the Microchipping of Dogs (England) Regulations 2015. Presently, in the year 2021, there are ongoing deliberations over the implementation of mandatory microchipping for cats.
