The Nonhuman Rights Project: Coming to a Country Near You
Abstract
The Nonhuman Rights Project is challenging the “thinghood” of all nonhuman animals by demanding that courts declare such nonhuman animals as great apes, elephants, and cetaceans to be “legal persons,” who possess the fundamental right to bodily liberty that is protected by the common law writ of habeas corpus.
