Practice question
Pigeons move from Nora's breeding place into Omar's breeding place. The facts establish that Omar deliberately enticed them by fraud. Omar invokes Article 717 as giving him ownership whenever pigeons reach another breeding place. Which conclusion is correct?
- The article's condition against enticement by artifice or fraud defeats Omar's asserted acquisition under that provision.
- The article grants ownership despite any fraud.
- Fraud matters only if the pigeons return voluntarily.
- A breeding place is automatically public property.
- The Code treats every pigeon as permanently ownerless.
