Breach of Warranty in Sale of Defective Animal

A buyer sued a seller for breach of warranty after discovering a defect in an animal purchased, claiming the defect made the animal unfit for the purpose for which it was sold, despite the seller arguing the defect was either known or discoverable by the buyer. The court upheld the lower court's ruling, finding that the seller was liable under the warranty against hidden defects because the defect substantially impaired the animal's utility for its intended purpose, and the seller did not prove the buyer was aware of the defect at the time of sale.
