Greetings All. I have been reading the various posts for a

Just wanted to chime in and say "yes a release is
needed for animals."

So, just as a for instance, let's say you see a BY photo
with a person
in it. 
Should you feel safe to use it per the BY license, or do you
need to see
the 
model release forms as well to feel safe?

If your answer is you shoud feel safe, should the CC
licenses have some 
distinction between advertising and endorsement?

If you answer is you need to see the release forms, should
the license
have 
some warning language as to other rights that can block you
/ get you in

trouble?

Well, if I remember properly, I have read that if you shoot
from public 
property, you don't need release forms for at least as far
down as
Private 
Property on your list when it comes to property. (It may
need to be
obvious 
that you shot from public property.)

Does anyone know of conflicting information?

You learn something new every day.  What would be the basis
for a
lawsuit without a release form for the animal?
