California Town Grants Rights to Elephants
Human rights aren’t just for humans anymore. That would be speciesist. So a California town has granted them to elephants:
The Ojai City Council voted 4-1 on Tuesday to adopt the ordinance, which recognizes the freedoms of elephants and was developed with the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP). …
Calling the Ojai ordinance “historic,” the Nonhuman Rights Project said it expects other cities to follow suit and pass similar legislation.
California kookiness does have a tendency to metastasize.
Commuter traffic in the New York City area sometimes gets backed up for miles because Canadian geese have waddled into the road. Presumably you would get in big trouble for running one over. Imagine the traffic nightmare when elephants learn of their newly created entitlements.
But there is a bright side. Maybe human rights for elephants could be applied to Republicans. That might spare Donald Trump from the centuries in prison Democrats have in mind for him.
