According to this article from the BBC, PETA is pushing forth a case to argue that whales have a constitutional right to be free from enslavement.
To put this another way, there are apparently multiple people in the world who were told some variation of the following: please give us a lot of money, we're trying to put together an ironclad case to get whales their long-denied constitutional right of freedom.
These same people heard this notion and thought some variation of "this is the best shot we've ever had of getting whales (and hopefully then all animals) recognized as being just like people. I'm totally convinced this is not a waste of my money."
And for all of our whale readers:
beeeeeeyooooo. beeeeeyyyyyyyy. beeeerrrrmmmmmmmmm. drooooooo. drooooooobeeeeeee. beeeeeemmammammammmammamm.

The irony of BBC ( British Broadcast) reporting on Constitutional Rights. But I digress. It is truly amazing that this stuff is even allowed in our courts. Are the whales paying taxes or PETA? Or is PETA taking this on pro-bono? And I do remember a time dogs were not allowed in department stores, but here in the OC, it is very normal. I guess we are getting closer to equal rights for animals.
