Orangutan Declared To Have Basic Legal Rights In Argentina

In what may be a first, an appeals court in Argentina has recognized a nonhuman as having basic legal rights. A Buenos Aires judge ruled in favor of advocates who are calling for more freedom for a 28-year-old orangutan who was born in a zoo.

The advocacy group filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on the orangutan's behalf, which would require proof of a justified detention.

Wired reports: "On Friday, an appeals court declared that Sandra, who is owned by the Buenos Aires Zoo, is a 'non-human person' who has been wrongfully deprived of her freedom."

In the ruling that was officially published Monday, the court says that by following a dynamic interpretation, "it is necessary to recognize that the animal is subject to rights, and should be protected," the AP says.

Sandra was born in a zoo in Germany and sent to Argentina 20 years ago. An animal rights group argued that she had been wrongfully forced into a life of incarceration. The group now wants Sandra to be transferred to a sanctuary.

Pablo Buompadre is the head of that group, the Association of Professional Lawyers for Animal Rights. After Friday's ruling, he called for an inquiry into animal cruelty in Argentina.

anyone who thinks being lib is just another political philosophy (valid one) should look at these images here

this is lib-ness at its absolute WORST: the fact that they defend the evil ones and promote murder of the TOTALLY innocent.

Anyone who votes D after seeing these photos is likely literally possessed of the devil

in which case we should... :zoomin::yoshi:

Chimps Should Have The Same Basic Rights As Humans, Says Attorney Steven Wise

Man should be doing better by his closest relative, according to attorney Steven Wise, who presented his argument for why chimpanzees should have the same rights as humans at the TED 2015 conference held last week in Vancouver, Canada. Wise is the president of the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) and has filed a lawsuit to protect two chimpanzees housed at Stony Brook University.

In his talk at TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design), Wise discussed how he is using the legal system to treat animals like humans. He likened the treatment of chimps, dolphins and elephants to slavery, drawing on the distinction between "legal things" and "legal persons," according to the TED blog. "Our plaintiffs will be animals ...

Q&A: Rutgers Law Prof Who Says Pedophilia Is Not a Crime

Margo Kaplan is not very popular today. In the Monday edition of the New York Times, the Rutgers-Camden law professor, an NYU and Harvard graduate, takes to the op-ed pages to argue that we’ve got it all wrong when it comes to pedophilia. She writes that pedophiles don’t necessarily turn out to be child molesters and that pedophilia is not a choice, i.e. a pedophile might be born that way.

Pretty weird yes, but on the other hand, that would make Ted Cruz eligible to run for president of Argentina.

I wonder if the orangutan was cross examined in court?
