Can a business transact with an animal?

If a crow puts a toonie in a vending machine, and manages to buy chips does it legally own the chips? Or can an agent of the business that runs the vending machine confiscate them and keep the money?

I don't think animals have that many rights. I can steal from a crow and the only thing I would need to worry about is a vindictive crow.

Or multiple vindictive crows.

I have never been able to steal from a cow. The other way round though...

I now have a great desire to find and train crows to buy stuff from vending machines to challenge the law with whatever nonsense they'll come at the crows with.

Hey always be selling, it doesn't matter who they are if they got the money and want to buy.
