'Monkey Selfie' Lawsuit Ends With Settlement Between PETA, Photographer : The Two-Way : NPR
Wow, this is getting ridiculous
Wow, this is getting ridiculous
Judge N. Randy Smith, in a concurrence, called PETA's suit "frivolous."
"The concept of expanding actual property rights — and rights broadly — to animals necessitates resolving what duties also come with those rights," he wrote, "and, because animals cannot communicate in our language, who stands in their shoes?"
He said the federal courts lack the authority to hear a suit purportedly brought by an animal.
Wow, this is getting ridiculous
"Getting" ridiculous? Ever since PETA and all the other liberal groups have shown up, it has been ridiculous. Sanity, logic, and reason definitely left the building with these nutjobs.
Oh completely agree, I Just don’t get how you couldn’t win so bad in a counter suit that they would ever be able to operate. To me that’s just idiotic to open yourself to that kind of liability, but yet they do it and get away with it.
