Breitbart.com<\/a>\u00a0reported yesterday that a California court will decide if amusement park animals are protected by the same constitutional rights as humans. Good grief–haven’t they got more important issues to look at?<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The issue arises from a lawsuit filed by rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals<\/a> (PETA<\/a>) in a San Diego<\/a>court on behalf of five orcas named Tilikum, Katina, Corky, Kasatka and Ulises.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The whales perform water acrobatics at the SeaWorld<\/a> amusement parks in San Diego and in Orlando,<\/a> Florida.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0PETA<\/a> argues that continuing the whales’ “employment” at SeaWorld<\/a>violates the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits slavery.<\/strong><\/div>\n

District Judge Jeffrey Miller heard arguments in the complaint Monday and reviewed the response from SeaWorld, which asked that the lawsuit be dismissed. His ruling is expected to come later.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why are we taking up the Judge’s and the Court’s time with this nonsense?<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

The complaint demands that the court “appoint a legal guardian to effectuate plaintiffs’ transfer from defendants’ facilities to a suitable habitat in accordance with each plaintiff’s individual needs and best interests.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why was this case not immediately thrown out of court?<\/p>\n
