Colorado Court to Decide If Elephants Have Same Rights as People
Oct 24, 2024, 03:17 PM
An animal rights group is seeking to release five elephants from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado, arguing that the animals are essentially imprisoned in conditions unsuitable for their highly intelligent and social nature. The group has asked the Colorado Supreme Court to determine whether these elephants can be considered legal persons under the law, which would grant them the same rights as people, including the right to dispute unlawful imprisonment. The main legal issue centers on whether the elephants can be recognized as persons, a decision that could set a significant precedent for animal rights. Without judicial intervention, the elephants are said to be doomed to suffer for the rest of their lives.
